 .Prerequisites
 
-For smart-cloning to occur, the following conditions are required.
+For smart-cloning to occur, the following conditions are required:
 
 * Your storage provider must support snapshots.
-* The source and target PVCs must be defined to the same namespace.
 * The source and target PVCs must be defined to the same storage class.
 * The `VolumeSnapshotClass` object must reference the storage class defined to both the source and target PVCs.
 
-If any of these prerequisites are not met, host-assisted cloning automatically occurs when you create a data volume with a PVC source.

 .Procedure
 
 To initiate cloning of a data volume:
 
 . Create a YAML file for a `DataVolume` object that specifies the name of the
-new data volume, the name and namespace of the source PVC, and the size of the new data volume. This example clones a source PVC in block mode, so `volumeMode: Block` is used:
+new data volume and the name and namespace of the source PVC. In this example, because you specify the *storage* API, there is no need to specify *accessModes* or *volumeMode*. The optimal values will be calculated for you automatically.
