Can a FlexClone volume be created during the volume move operation?
Applies to
- Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO)
- Move a volume
- Create a FlexClone volume
Answer
- No, a FlexClone volume cannot be created during the volume move operation.
- An error occurs when attempting to create a FlexClone volume before the volume move operation completes:
::> volume clone create -vserver svm1 -flexclone vol1_clone -type RW -parent-volume vol1
[Job 10441] Job is queued: Create vol1_clone.
Error: command failed: [Job 10441] Job failed: Failed to create the clone volume on node. Reason: Volume move in progress.
- Due to CVO's specifications and limitations, there is no way to create a FlexClone volume during a volume move operation.
- The process should be one of the following:
- Create the FlexClone volume after the volume operation is complete.
- Abort the volume operation, create the FlexClone volume, and then start the volmove operation again after the FlexClone volume creation is complete.

- ONTAP and CVO have different behavior. For ONTAP only, please refer to Is it possible to create a FlexClone of a volume which is wait cutover and to use it?
