Figure 5.6.15 • Run out of snapshot space while VD clone While the clone is processing, the increment data of this VD is over the snapshot space. The clone will complete, but the clone snapshot will fail. Next time, when trying to start clone, it will get a warning message "This is not enough of snapshot space for the operation". At this time, the user needs to clean up the snapshot space in order to operate the clone process.

Figure 5.6.15
Run out of snapshot space while VD clone
While the clone is processing, the increment data of this VD is over the snapshot space.
The clone will complete, but the clone snapshot will fail. Next time, when trying to start
clone, it will get a warning message “This is not enough of snapshot space for the
operation”. At this time, the user needs to clean up the snapshot space in order to operate
the clone process. Each time the clone snapshot failed, it means that the system loses the
reference value of incremental data. So it will start a full copy at next clone process.
When running out of snapshot space, the flow diagram of VD clone procedure will be like
the following.
