What feature balances load across a cluster while consuming less disk capacity than LS SnapMirror copies?

SnapVault is a disk-to-disk backup solution designed for long-term retention of point-in-time copies, not for distributing read workloads across a cluster.

FlexCache volumes store only the blocks that clients have actually read from the origin volume, making them sparse and far more space-efficient than LS SnapMirror copies which must contain a full replica of the source. By serving reads locally from the cache closest to the client, FlexCache distributes read load across the cluster without duplicating the entire dataset.

FlexClone creates writable, space-efficient clones used for testing or provisioning workflows, not for read load balancing across cluster nodes.

DP SnapMirror copies are full volume replicas used for disaster recovery and consume disk capacity equal to the source volume, making them less efficient than FlexCache for load distribution.
