The FlexClone license must be installed on the storage system.
Steps 
1.
From the Home tab, double-click the appropriate storage system.
2.
Ensure that the left navigation pane displays the Vservers hierarchy.
3.
In the navigation pane, select the Vserver and click Storage > Volumes.
4.
From the Clone menu, click Create > File.
5.
Select the file that you want to clone and specify a name for the FlexClone file.
6.
Click Clone.
Result 
The FlexClone file is created in the same flexible volume as the parent file.
