Is there a trick to clone from a storage node to the same storage node? We're running an older release 6.1.1.

I've always found that the concise paragraph in the man page for nsrclone answers all my questions about controlling source and destination for cloning operations:


       Cloning  between storage nodes is accomplished by an nsrmmd(1) on
       the source node reading from a volume, and another  nsrmmd(1)  on
       the  target  node writing to a volume.  The source node is deter-
       mined by the location of a source volume, which is given by where
       the  volume  is  currently  mounted or by its "location" field if
       unmounted (see mmlocate(1)).  The  target  node  of  a  clone  is
       determined  by the "clone storage nodes" attribute of the storage
       node's client resource, the "clone storage nodes", or the  "stor-
       age  nodes" attribute of the server's client resource in descend-
       ing priority.   See  nsr_storage_node(5)  and  nsr_client(5)  for
       additional  detail  on how these attributes are used and on other
       storage node information.
