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 FlexClone volume must be online.
