To edit the SmartClone volumes
1. In the navigation window, select the SmartClone volume for which you want to make changes.
2. Click Volume Tasks, and select Edit Volume.
See “Requirements for changing SmartClone volume characteristics” (page 195) for detailed
information about making changes to the SmartClone volume characteristics.
3. Make the desired changes to the volume, and click OK.
If you change a SmartClone volume characteristic that will change other related volumes and
snapshots, a warning opens that lists the volumes that will be affected by the change. If there
are too many volumes to list, a subset will be listed with a note indicating how many additional
volumes will be affected.
Deleting SmartClone volumes
Any volumes or snapshots that are part of a SmartClone network can be deleted just like any other
volumes or snapshots. The only exception is the clone point, which cannot be deleted until it is no
longer a clone point.
CAUTION: Before deleting any volumes or snapshots, you must first stop any applications that
are accessing the volumes and log off any iSCSI sessions that are connected to the volumes.
Deleting the clone point
You can delete a clone point if you delete all but one volume that depends on that clone point.
After you delete all but one volume that depends on a clone point, the clone point returns to being
a standard snapshot and can be managed just like any other snapshot.
For example, in Figure 94 (page 196) , you must delete any four of the five C#class_x volumes
before you can delete the clone point.

Deleting multiple SmartClone volumes
Delete multiple SmartClone volumes in a single operation from the Volume and Snapshots node
of the cluster. First you must stop any application servers that are using the volumes, and log off
any iSCSI sessions.
1. Select the Volumes and Snapshots node to display the list of SmartClone volumes in the cluster.
