LUN Usage with Replication Applications LUN Type Potential Usage Make a snapshot of it? Make a clone (BCV) of it? Use as source for MirrorView? Use as source for full SAN Copy session? Use as source for incremental SAN Copy session?

Is there any way to create a clone group based on a snapshot? I haven't found a way to do it, but that may just mean I don't know enough about navisphere...  Thanks, Louis
Can I clone from a snapshot?
