Hi Toasters,
I have a number of volumes running from a common snapshot and would like to split them out. All these volumes are snapmirrored to our DR site.
However, when I try to perform a vol clone split, it complains about an in-use snapshot. Reading further, it appears that the split will delete all snapshots, so doesn't like the snapmirror snap.
What is the best way to split these volumes? Ideally without having to re-baseline \ lose my snapmirror destination volume \ snaps.
ONTAP v9.1P2
