Cloning an inbound replica
Cloning enables data access in a replica, with no impact on the replication configuration or the replica.
You can clone an inbound replica to create a new volume on the secondary
group. The new volume has the same
reported size, is the same type (standard volume, template volume, or thin clone volume), and has the same data as
the original volume at the time you created the replica.
The new volume is located in the same pool as the replica. After the
clone operation completes, the replica still
exists, and replication continues as usual.
Note: If you clone a thin clone replica to c
reate a new thin clone volume, the new volume is attached to the
template replica set on which the thin clone replica depends.
