More information
Creating a FlexClone volume
If you need a temporary copy of your data that can be made quickly and without using a lot of disk space, you can create a FlexClone volume. FlexClone volumes save data space because all unchanged data blocks are shared between the FlexClone volume and its parent.
Splitting a FlexClone volume from its parent
If you want the FlexClone volume to have its own disk space, rather than using that of its parent, you can split it from its parent.
Determining the space used by a FlexClone volume
You can determine the space used by a FlexClone volume based on its nominal size and the amount of space it shares with the parent FlexVol volume.
