C: Storage requirements depend on the setting of the CLONEDB initialization parameter: CLONEDB=FALSE The underlying file system for the source PDB files must support storage snapshots. Such file systems include Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) and Direct NFS Client storage. Oracle Exadata supports snapshot copy functionality on ASM configured with sparse ASM grid disks. CLONEDB=TRUE The underlying file system for the source PDB files can be any local file system, network file system (NFS), or clustered file system that has Direct NFS enabled and supports sparse files. Most UNIX systems meet these requirements, including Oracle ACFS and ZFS. However, when CLONEDB=TRUE, the source PDB must remain in open read-only mode when clones exist.
