Viewing Clones of a Snapshot (BUI)
Use the following procedure to make a clone of an existing clone.
Once you have created a clone from a snapshot of a filesystem or LUN, you can work with that
clone as with any other share. You can take a snapshot of the clone, and you can make a clone
of that snapshot. You can continue this process to make clones of clones indefinitely.
1.
Take a snapshot of the clone using one of these procedures:
■
“Taking a Snapshot (BUI)” on page 440
■
“Taking a Snapshot (CLI)” on page 441
2.
Clone the snapshot using one of these procedures:
■
