How to mount a VM snapshot from a NetApp FlexClone

You need to restore data from a virtual machine on a NFS datastore...and you have a SAN snapshot.

Get a snapshot list from the volume

snap list <volume name>

Then, create a flexclone of the data

vol clone create <clone name> -b <volume name> <snap name>

In VMware PowerCLI, mount the volume (its export settings should match the parent volume)

Get-VMHost | New-Datastore -Nfs -Name <clone name> -Path "/vol/<clone name>" -NfsHost <ip address>

Find the VM on the datastore and register it, and restore the data however you want.
