  • Trident
  • ONTAP 9

Answer

Trident behaves as follows when creating clones with the backend option for provisioning volumes splitOnClone set to true:
  • Trident executes an API equivalent to volume clone create command on ONTAP, followed by an API equivalent to volume clone split start command.
  • Trident only serves as an interface, while the actual clone creation behavior is handled by ONTAP.

Note: For details about the clones themselves, please refer to Split a FlexClone volume from its parent volume and other relevant resources from ONTAP perspective.
