Modifying the Performance Service Level and Storage Efficiency Policy of the file share

Goal

Use this workflow to modify the Performance Service Level (PSL) and Storage Efficiency Policy of a file share by using NetApp Service Level Manager (NSLM).

Note: In this workflow only the PSL and Storage Efficiency Policy associated with the file share are modified. The file share remains in the same cluster.

Prerequisites

1.       NSLM 1.2.0 or later must be installed.

1.       OnCommand Workflow Automation 4.2 General Availability (GA) or later must be installed.

3.       The following NSLM user credentials must be available in the Credentials window:

Input parameters

Values

Match

Exact

Type

NetApp Service Level Manager

Name/IP

IP address of the NSLM server

User name

NSLM REST user name

Password

NSLM REST user password

4.       A new data source of type NetApp Service Level Manager - 1.2.0 must be available in the Data Source window. You have to use the REST user name and password as the data source user name and password..

User Inputs

You can select the file share that is assigned a particular PSL/Storage Efficiency Policy and modify it to assign another PSL/Storage Efficiency Policy.

To execute this workflow, provide the required information in the User Inputs section:

·         File Share* [mandatory]: From the list, select the file share to be modified.

: The drop-down list also displays the names of the assigned PSL, Storage Efficiency Policy, SVM and cluster.

·         Modify Performance Service Level: Select this check box to modify the PSL of the file share

·         Modify Storage Efficiency Policy: Select this check box to modify the Storage Efficiency Policy of the file share

·         Target Performance Service Level: From the drop-down list, select the PSL for the file share.

·         Target Storage Efficiency Policy: From the drop-down list, select a Storage Efficiency Policy for the file share.

Result

The workflow modifies the PSL and Storage Efficiency Policy of the file share.
