 # Clone persistent volumes in Azure Container Storage Preview
+
 You can clone persistent volumes in [Azure Container Storage](container-storage-introduction.md). A cloned volume is a duplicate of an existing persistent volume. You can only clone volumes of the same size that are in the same storage pool.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
 - This article requires version 2.0.64 or later of the Azure CLI. See [How to install the Azure CLI](/cli/azure/install-azure-cli). If you're using Azure Cloud Shell, the latest version is already installed. If you plan to run the commands locally instead of in Azure Cloud Shell, be sure to run them with administrative privileges.
-- You'll need an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster with a node pool of at least three virtual machines (VMs) for the cluster nodes, each with a minimum of four virtual CPUs (vCPUs). 
+- You'll need an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster with a node pool of at least three virtual machines (VMs) for the cluster nodes, each with a minimum of four virtual CPUs (vCPUs).
 - This article assumes you've already installed Azure Container Storage on your AKS cluster, and that you've created a storage pool and persistent volume claim (PVC) using either [Azure Disks](use-container-storage-with-managed-disks.md) or [ephemeral disk (local storage)](use-container-storage-with-local-disk.md). Azure Elastic SAN doesn't support resizing volumes.

-  Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com?azure-portal=true) and select **Resource groups**. Locate the resource group that AKS created (the resource group name starts with **MC_**). Select the SAN resource object within that resource group. Manually remove all volumes and volume groups. Then retry deleting the resource group that includes your AKS cluster.

To resolve this, you must [assign the Contributor role](install-container-storage-aks.md#assign-contributor-role-to-aks-managed-identity) to the AKS managed identity.
