Viewing SmartClone volumes
As you create multiple SmartClone volumes, you can view them and their related volumes and
snapshots in both the navigation window and in the Map View tab, shown in Figure 82 (page 191).
Because a SmartClone volume is the same as any other volume, the icon is the standard volume
icon. However, the clone point and the shared snapshot have unique icons, as illustrated in
Figure 77 (page 186).
Map view
The Map View tab is useful for viewing the relationships between clone point snapshots, shared
snapshots, and their related volumes. For example, when you want to make changes such as
moving a volume to a different cluster, or deleting shared snapshots, the Map View tab allows you
to easily identify how many snapshots and volumes are affected by such changes.
