Why each option
In Data ONTAP Cluster-Mode, FlexClone and LUN Clone are the two clone technologies that lock the backing Snapshot copy to prevent deletion while the clone exists.
FlexClone creates a space-efficient writable copy of a FlexVol volume from a Snapshot copy and places a lock on that Snapshot, preventing it from being deleted until all FlexClone volumes derived from it are destroyed. LUN Clone similarly creates a clone of a LUN from a Snapshot copy and locks that Snapshot for the lifetime of the clone, ensuring data consistency of the backing point-in-time image.
Snap Clone is not a recognized Data ONTAP Cluster-Mode clone technology and does not exist as a distinct feature in this context.
Vol Clone is not a valid distinct clone technology in clustered Data ONTAP; volume-level cloning is handled by FlexClone.
Aggr Clone is not a supported or named clone technology in clustered Data ONTAP 8.x and does not lock Snapshot copies.
