Use the FlexClone Wizard to create both FlexClone volumes of online flexible volumes. Consider creating a FlexClone whenever you need a writable, point-in-time copy of an existing FlexVol, including the following scenarios:
You need to create a temporary copy of a volume for testing purposes.
You need to make a copy of your data available to additional users without giving them access to the production data.
You want to create a FlexClone of a database for manipulation and projection operations, while preserving the original data in unaltered form.
The maximum number of volumes, including FlexClone volumes, allowed per storage system is 500.
