Enabling the Instant Clone Feature Created with Thin Image Snapshots

To create Thin Image (TI) snapshots with cascade mode, enable the cascade mode and provide a Dynamic Provisioned (DP) pool.

Before You Begin

• Thin Image (TI) snapshots that were created without cascade mode cannot co-exist with snapshots in cascade mode. Read Considerations About Cascade Mode for the Instant Clone Feature on Hitachi Vantara.

• Make sure that the pool that you are going to specify is not a dynamic tiering (DT) pool.

Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Infrastructure.

   The Infrastructure page appears.

2. Click Arrays.

3. On the Arrays page, in the Name column, select the Hitachi Vantara.

   The Overview page of the array appears.

4. Under Configuration tab, in the Snap configurations tile, click Edit .

   The Edit configuration dialog box appears.

5. In the Edit configuration dailog box, do the following:

   • Move the Enable cascade mode for Instant Clone support toggle key to the right.

   • In the DP pool to be used for S-VOLs (CCI engines) box, enter a DP pool.
