Cloning LUNs
LUN clones enable you to create multiple readable and writable copies of a LUN. You might want to create a temporary copy of a LUN for testing or to make a copy of your data available to additional users, without giving them access to the production data.
Before you begin
When space reservation is not enabled for a LUN, the volume that contains the LUN must have enough space to accommodate changes to the clone.
Note:
A space-reserved LUN clone requires as much space as the space-reserved parent LUN.
