Abstract

See full text

Techniques for optimizing file processing for linked clone virtual machines (VMs) are provided. In one embodiment, an agent executing within a linked clone VM can determine an identifier for a file to be processed by a file processor, where the identifier is based on a virtual disk location of the file. The agent can then transmit the identifier to the file processor. Upon receiving the identifier, the file processor can detect, using the identifier, whether the file has already been processed. If the file has already been processed, the file processor can short-circuit processing of the file.
