Issue

When attempting to convert a flexible volume to a FlexGroup volume, below error is displayed:

Cluster1::*> volu conversion start -foreground true -vserver svm-wam-kap -volume wam_kap_veeam

Warning:  * After the volume is converted to a FlexGroup, it will not be possible to change it back to a flexible volume.
                      * Converting flexible volume "wam_kap_veeam" in Vserver "svm-wam-kap" to a FlexGroup will cause the state of all Snapshot copies from the volume to be set to "pre-conversion". Pre-conversion Snapshot copies cannot be restored.
                * Converting the volume to a FlexGroup will not add additional resources for capacity. After converting, use the "volume expand" command to add resources.
