Hi,
MirrorClone with fast resync: MirrorClone now allows a user to pre-normalize a mirror and then fracture the mirror to create an instantaneous byte-for-byte clone. MirrorClone also maintains its relationship with the source volume accelerating the re-sync time.

this means that you have localy the instantaneous mirror within 1 EVA.

Thanks, although I found your explanation hard to follow so still unsure.

Is a mirror clone just 2 vdisks that are synced together until broken?
