yati1998 945da179e2 docs: update documentation for volume clone
after cross-storageclass clone/restore, now we can
clone across different storageclass.
this commit updates the documentation indicating
the same.

title: Volume clone
---
The CSI Volume Cloning feature adds support for specifying existing PVCs in the
`dataSource` field to indicate a user would like to clone a Volume.
A Clone is defined as a duplicate of an existing Kubernetes Volume that can be
consumed as any standard Volume would be. The only difference is that upon
provisioning, rather than creating a "new" empty Volume, the back end device
creates an exact duplicate of the specified Volume.
Refer to [clone-doc](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volume-pvc-datasource/)
for more info.
## RBD Volume Cloning
In [pvc-clone](https://github.com/rook/rook/tree/master/deploy/examples/csi/rbd/pvc-clone.yaml),
`dataSource` should be the name of the `PVC` which is already created by RBD
CSI driver. The `dataSource` kind should be the `PersistentVolumeClaim`.
The `storageClassName` can be any RBD storageclass (not necessarily same as Parent PVC)
Please note:
* `provisioner` must be the same for both the Parent PVC and the Clone PVC.
* The non-encrypted PVC cannot be cloned to an encrypted one and vice-versa.
* encrypted -> encrypted (possible)
* non-encrypted -> non-encrypted (possible)
* encrypted -> non-encrypted (not possible)
* non-encrypted -> encrypted (not possible)
Create a new PVC Clone from the PVC
```console
kubectl create -f deploy/examples/csi/rbd/pvc-clone.yaml
```
### Verify RBD volume Clone PVC Creation
```console
kubectl get pvc
```
```console
NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE
rbd-pvc Bound pvc-74734901-577a-11e9-b34f-525400581048 1Gi RWO rook-ceph-block 34m
rbd-pvc-clone Bound pvc-70473135-577f-11e9-b34f-525400581048 1Gi RWO rook-ceph-block 8s
```
## RBD clone resource Cleanup
To clean your cluster of the resources created by this example, run the following:
```console
kubectl delete -f deploy/examples/csi/rbd/pvc-clone.yaml
```
## CephFS Volume Cloning
### Volume Clone Prerequisites
1. Requires Kubernetes v1.16+ which supports volume clone.
2. Ceph-csi diver v3.1.0+ which supports volume clone.
In [pvc-clone](https://github.com/rook/rook/tree/master/deploy/examples/csi/cephfs/pvc-clone.yaml),
`dataSource` should be the name of the `PVC` which is already created by CephFS
CSI driver. The `dataSource` kind should be the `PersistentVolumeClaim` and also storageclass
should be same as the source `PVC`.
Create a new PVC Clone from the PVC
```console
kubectl create -f deploy/examples/csi/cephfs/pvc-clone.yaml
```
### Verify CephFS volume Clone PVC Creation
```console
kubectl get pvc
```
```console
NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE
cephfs-pvc Bound pvc-1ea51547-a88b-4ab0-8b4a-812caeaf025d 1Gi RWX rook-cephfs 39m
cephfs-pvc-clone Bound pvc-b575bc35-d521-4c41-b4f9-1d733cd28fdf 1Gi RWX rook-cephfs 8s
```
