Hi,

I am looking for a method where I can very quickly have 5 local point in time copies of a source LUN and have them mounted permanently for read/write.

I understand that snapview clones give me that option. however, it does mean that I will have to wait until the source data is fully copied to 5 destination LUNs and is in sync before the target LUNs are fractured and removed.

I understand that "VNX snapshots" can be added to a snapshot mount point but that is not going to be an actual LUN that I can have permanently mounted as it has a performance impact.

I am looking basically for something similar to NetApp's flexclone, where I simply I can take a snapshot of a volume and have it immediately mounted and then breaking the clone from the source LUN can happen at a later time in the background. What is a similar solution does VNX offer?
