Creating FlexClone volumes
You can use Storage Manager to create a FlexClone volume when you require a writable, point-in-time copy of an existing FlexVol volume. You might want to create a copy of a volume for testing or to provide access to the volume for additional users without giving them access to the production data.
Before you begin
The FlexClone license must be installed on the storage system.
The volume that you want to clone must be online and must be a non-root volume.
About this task
The base Snapshot copy that is used to create a FlexClone volume of a SnapMirror destination is marked as busy and cannot be deleted. If a FlexClone volume is created from a Snapshot copy that is not the most recent Snapshot copy, and that Snapshot copy no longer exists on the source volume, all SnapMirror updates to the destination volume fail.
