NOTE:

Snapshot schedules and remote copy schedules are also individual to a single SmartClone

volume.

Clone point

The clone point is the snapshot from which the SmartClone volumes are created. The clone point
contains the snapshot data that is shared among the multiple volumes. Because the SmartClone
volumes and their snapshots depend on the clone point, it cannot be deleted until it is no longer
a clone point. A clone point ceases to be a clone point when only one SmartClone volume remains
that was created from that clone point. That is, you can delete all but one of the SmartClone
volumes, and then you can delete the clone point.
