FlexClone split operation during migration start operation

During migration start operation, if you initiate the FlexClone split operation, the migration start operation might complete successfully. In case an error is detected, the cutover operation is aborted, and migration start operation is repeated.

After the FlexClone split operation, the corresponding FlexClone does not have any relationship with its parent volume on the source storage system. This is because the FlexClone volume hierarchy on the source storage system and the destination storage system differs. However, the FlexClone volume remains intact on the destination storage system.

The NetApp Management Console provisioning capability detects these errors during the migration cutover operation, and aborts the cutover operation. In such a situation, you should remove the provisioned volumes on the destination storage system by either canceling the migration operation, or manually clearing the data from the destination storage system, and then restart migration.
