In NetApp Workload Factory for Databases, splitting a database clone from its source database creates a new database which will consume a certain amount of storage capacity. The clone gets deleted when the split is complete and the new database appears in the Inventory.

Before you begin

Consider how much storage capacity is needed for the new database. If needed, increase file system capacity for the FSx for ONTAP file system before you begin.

Steps

  1. Log in using one of the console experiences.

  2. In the Databases tile, select Go to Databases inventory.

  3. From the Databases menu, select Sandboxes.

  4. In Sandboxes, select the action menu of the database clone you want to split.

  5. Select Split.

  6. In the Split dialog, select Split.
