Abstract

Disclosed is an improved approach to implement virtualization objects in a virtualization system. The virtualization object from a first namespace is cloned as a snapshot that is accessible within a second namespace. To implement this, the virtualization object can be mounted as a target (implemented as a snapshot) that is locally accessible to the host.
