Splitting a FlexClone volume from its parent volume
If you want the FlexClone volume to have its own disk space, rather than using that of its parent, you can split it from its parent. After the split, the FlexClone volume becomes a normal flexible volume.
Before you begin 
The option to split a FlexClone volume is enabled only if the volume is FlexClone and the FlexClone is online.
Steps 
1.
From the Home tab, double-click the appropriate storage system to display a subtree of management features.
2.
Click Storage > Volumes.
3.
Select the FlexClone volume that you want to split from its parent volume.
4.
From the Clone menu, select Split.
5.
Click Start Split in the confirmation dialog box.
