split clone question

Harry49528 — Thu, 22 May 2025 01:42:08 GMT

Hi,

I would like to perform a split clone job to make it independent of the parent volume.

However, I found that when I perform a split clone job, it removes snapshots of the parent volume that are earlier than the snapshot used for cloning.

Is there any command functionally equivalent to a split clone?

Thanks

Harry

hello:

Avoid deleting the specific snapshot until clone split completes.The article may be help for you https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/volumes/split-flexclone-from-parent-task.html

Best regards.

Hi,

I think I have made a mistake. It seems that the snapshots is not due to split clone. Thanks for helping.
