Can any one tell if we create vol clone with snapshot so it will create the another. The question is that it consume separate aggr space of parent volume space

vol clone create nfs_s1_a5_coloora12db1_u02_002 -s none -b nfs_s1_a5_coloora12db1_u02 r12UAT_DBF --------à

Once you clone the volume from a particular snapshot that snapshot will locked and will list as (busy,vclone) .

Clone volume will not consume any space till it's not splitted from the original volume .It will take space from the same aggregate once its splitted .

As i already told you that "you are right" means it will take space from volume untill you will split it.

and if you have gone through link provided by me. you must not ask this questions again

Thanks guys i have gone through link. But little confusion here so when we write the data on new cloned volume then it will take the data from the parent volume or aggr.

Thanks. Can we move cloned volume or split volume to other aggr . Can we restore the cloned volume snapstore restoration.

Nope, we cannot move cloned volume to other aggregate and yes if you have splitted clone volume then after split finishes, you have serveral ways to move it to other aggregates. You need to explain your next question "Can we restore the cloned volume snapstore restoration" in detail.
