HyperClone enables immediate read/write access to the target LUN during the copy process.

• A. The statement is True
• B. The statement is False
• C. The statement requires extra licenses
• D. Not supported

Answer: (A)

HyperClone uses a copy-on-write cloning approach, so you get a writable replica of a LUN right away. When the clone is created, the target LUN is presented to hosts immediately, but the actual data isn’t copied all at once. Instead, the clone initially shares data blocks with the source. Reads to the target can proceed, and when you write to the target, new blocks are allocated on the target and the mapping is updated, leaving the original LUN unchanged. This means you can access and use the target LUN immediately during the copy process while the remaining data is copied in the background. The effect is a fast, usable clone with space-efficient data sharing.
