The copy offload tool is no longer available available, so this patch adds an alternative approach using file copy operations to the scenarios where the tool was required. During the clone image operation, if the source volume is not available in the same pool or cache, the copy file operation is called to perform the action. The copy offload tool will keeping working and it will be removed in the next release (Antelope). There patch [1] deprecates the tool.
