NOTE: Cloning a snapshot creates a new standard volume, template volume, or thin clone volume with a new name and new iSCSI target name, but with the same reported size, pool, and contents as the original volume at the time you created the snapshot. The group allocates space equal to the volume reserve you specify for the new volume. If you reserve snapshot space for the new volume, the group allocates additional space. Also, the snapshot still exists after the clone operation. Clone Template Volume Wizard Cloning creates new copies of a volume that are the same type and have the same contents as the original volume. Table 118.
