Change in Volume instance name

Hi,

I run a ONTAP CMode simulator [8.2 RC].

There are a few volumes that are exposed to VC

Out of those volumes there are 2 volumes vol1 and vol3 whose instance names have been changed to vol1(1) and vol3(1).

dataontap-vsim-cluster::> volume show

svdc01    vol1   aggr2_dataontap_vsim_cluster_01

                                    online     RW          3GB     2.98GB    0%

svdc02    vol2

                       aggr1_dataontap_vsim_cluster_01

dataontap-vsim-cluster-01> stats list instances quota

Instances for object name: quota

vol0/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

vol1(1)/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

vol2/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

vol3(1)/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

Why would the instance names change when the volume names are still the same?

Regards,

Vivek

Is there a chance that the instance name of the volume might change in a real NetApp Filer?

An answer to this will be appreciated.

I still haven't been able to figure out why this happens.
