SnapDrive for Windows - creating a flexclone

Is there any way to get SDW to create a flexclone (either via the GUI or CLI)? if so, how do you do that and is it a flexclone or a LUN clone? If not, is it planned for a future release? Thanks.

Hi Pete,

When you do 'Connect Drive' via SDW & point to an existing snapshot, it will in fact do a clone in the background - if there is FlexClone license enabled it will be a volume clone, otherwise it will be a LUN clone.
