3.9.4.2 List Volume Clones
An Exascale volume clone is a thinly-provisioned read-write point-in-time copy of a volume snapshot.
To display information about existing volumes, including volume clones, use the ESCLI lsvolume
command.
To focus on snapshot-based volume clones, look for volumes that contain a value for the volumeSnapshot
attribute. For example:
@> lsvolume --detail --filter volumeSnapshot!=""
Without any other arguments or command options, the previous command displays detailed information about all of the snapshot-based volume clones associated with the Exascale cluster.
Likewise, to focus on clones that are based directly on other volumes, look for volumes that contain a value for the volumeSource
attribute. For example:
@> lsvolume --detail --filter volumeSource!=""
Using the other command options available with the lsvolume
command, you can:
- Display information about specific volumes or volume clones.
- Filter the output according to your specified conditions.
- Sort the output using specific attributes.
- Choose to display output with different levels of detail.
