Clones leverage metadata-only for instantaneous and space-efficient operations. A clone is treated as another virtual disk, except that you cannot make a snapshot of a clone, or a clone of a clone.
Procedure
-
On the Virtual Disk Management (VDM) page, click the ellipsis (...) to the left of the desired block virtual disk, and select Snapshots. A list of snapshot(s) belonging to the block virtual disk is displayed.
-
In the Snapshots dialog, identify the snapshot you want to clone, click the ellipsis (...) to its left, and select Clone.
-
Complete the Clone Disk from Snapshot dialog.
Note
For details on all of the options, see the table in Creating Virtual Disks.
-
Select Run to create the clone.
