What command would create a LUN clone named lun0.clone from the LUN lun0 on the volume vol2?

• A. lun clone start create /vol/vol2/lun0.clone -b /vol/vol2/lun0 snap_recent
• B. lun clone create /vol/vol2/lun0.clone -b /vol/vol2/lun0 snap_recent
• C. lun clone create /vol/vol2/lun0 -b /vol/vol2/lun0.clone snap_recent
• D. lun clone create /vol/vol2/lun0.clone -b /vol/vol2/lun0 -s snap_recent

Answer: (B)

Creating a LUN clone uses the clone target, the backing LUN, and the snapshot to base the clone on. To make a clone named lun0.clone from the LUN lun0 on vol2, you specify the target path /vol/vol2/lun0.clone, set the backing LUN with -b to /vol/vol2/lun0, and provide the snapshot name snap_recent as the base. The correct form is: lun clone create /vol/vol2/lun0.clone -b /vol/vol2/lun0 snap_recent. This directly tells ONTAP which LUN to clone from, where to place the new LUN, and which snapshot to use as the source data. Other formats misplace the clone target, misname the backing LUN, or use a syntax option not applicable in this context, so they won’t create the desired clone.
