Add or expand capacity storage class to Infinite Volume
Goal
This
workflow adds or expands a capacity storage class to an Infinite Volume Storage
Virtual Machine. This capacity storage class is mainly defined by following
characteristics:
1.
The
data constituent are provisioned on aggregates with disk type as “SATA”.
2.
Data
constituents are provisioned with a “volume” space guarantee.
3.
Data
constituents have deduplication enabled with efficiency priority as
'background' and compression as 'inline'. Efficiency operations are scheduled
to run from midnight - 6 AM.
Input
Parameters:
·
Cluster*
[Mandatory]: The Clustered ONTAP storage system that hosts the Storage Virtual
Machine where the capacity class of infinite volume is created or expanded.
Note that the infinite volume feature is available from ONTAP 8.2.0 and above,
so only those applicable clusters will be shortlisted and shown in the drop
down list. This list would be a tabular resource selection showing Cluster
Name, Primary Address, ONTAP version and available size in aggregate of disk
type “SATA”.
·
Storage
Virtual Machine with infinite volume*[Mandatory]:
Storage Virtual Machine hosting the infinite volume where the new volume with
multiple classes of storage. The drop-down will list the name of the Storage
Virtual Machine associated with selected ONTAP cluster. This tabular list will
have Storage Virtual Machine with amount of storage available for that specific
Storage class. It also shows the amount of space in the current storage class.
·
Size to allocate (TB)* [Mandatory]:
– The total size (TB) of the capacity class of storage that user wants to
allocate to the infinite volume.
Result
This workflow will add user specified capacity class of storage to an
infinite volume in the specific Storage Virtual Machine.
