In Figure 88 on page 243, the original volume is "C#."
• Creating a SmartClone volume of C# first creates a snapshot, C#_SCsnap.
• After the snapshot is created, you create at least one SmartClone volume, C#class_1.

Snapshot becomes a clone point
Because the SmartClone volumes depend on the clone point from which they were created, the clone
point appears underneath each SmartClone volume in the navigation window. While the clone point
may appear many times, it only exists as a single snapshot in the SAN. Therefore, it only uses the
space of that single snapshot. The display in the navigation window depicts this by the multiple
highlights of the clone point underneath each SmartClone volume that was created from it.
