Splitting a FlexClone volume from its parent volume
If you want a FlexClone volume to have its own disk space instead of using the disk space of its parent volume, you can split the volume from its parent by using Storage Manager. After the split, the FlexClone volume becomes a normal FlexVol volume.
Before you begin
The FlexClone volume must be online.
About this task
For systems that are not AFA systems, the clone-splitting operation deletes all of the existing Snapshot copies of the clone. The Snapshot copies that are required for SnapMirror updates are also deleted. Therefore, any subsequent SnapMirror updates might fail.
You can pause the clone-splitting operation if you have to perform any other operation on the volume. You can resume the clone-splitting process after the other operation is complete.
