Hi, Basically you have to storage areas:
* The image repository, where your base images are kept. Any operation to copy or move an image from there are through the Image driver. This is for: 1) Resitering a new image (CP) 2) Creating an empty image (MKFS) 3) Copy back a persistent image or a saved_as one (MV) and 4) delete an image (RM) * The storage at the hosts and the VM_DIR (can be local or in a shared FS). Transfer operations to/from that directories are handle with the TM. TM move is then used to move the images from the host to the VM_DIR at the front-end.
