How do you create an aggregate in NetApp?

How do you create an aggregate in NetApp?

Steps

1. Create the aggregate by entering the following command: aggr create aggr_name [-f] [-m] [-n] [-t {raid0 | raid4 | raid_dp}] [-r raidsize ] [-T disk-type ] -R rpm ] [-L] [-p] disk-list.
2. Verify the RAID group and drives of your new aggregate by entering the following command: aggr status -r aggr_name.

What is aggregate in NetApp storage?

An aggregate is a collection of disks (or partitions) arranged into one or more RAID groups. It is the most basic storage object within ONTAP and is required to allow for the provisioning of space for connected hosts.

How does NetApp determine aggregate size?

The storage aggregate show-space command displays information about space utilization within aggregates and any attached external capacity tier. The command output breaks down space usage in the specified aggregate by feature. If no parameters are specified, the command displays this information about all aggregates.

What is RAID group in netapp?

A RAID group consists of one or more data disks or array LUNs, across which client data is striped and stored, and up to two parity disks, depending on the RAID level of the aggregate that contains the RAID group. RAID-DP uses two parity disks to ensure data recoverability even if two disks within the RAID group fail.

How do you add volume on Netapp?

1. Verify that the configuration is supported.
2. Complete the NFS client configuration worksheet.
3. Install.
4. Add the storage cluster to VSC.
5. Configure your network for best performance.
6. Configure the ESXi host. Configure host ports and vSwitches.
7. Create an aggregate.
8. Decide where to provision the new volume.

What is aggregate and volume in NetApp?

an aggregate is the raw space (hard drive), the volume is the partition, its where you put the file system and data.

What is root aggregate in NetApp?

The root aggregate contains the root volume, which contains special directories and configuration files that help you administer the storage system. The storage system’s root volume contains special directories and configuration files that help you administer the storage system.

How do I check space on Netapp?

You see a volume’s space usage by using the vol status -S command. This perspective provides details about the amount of space each volume is using in the containing aggregate, including the volume’s metadata. You see a volume’s footprint with the aggregate by using the vol status -F command.

Where is spare disk on Netapp?

The command storage aggregate show-spare-disks displays information about spare disks. The command output depends on the parameter or parameters specified with the command. If no parameters are specified, the command displays information about all spare disks in the cluster.

What is RAID-TEC in NetApp?

RAID-TEC (Triple Erasure Coding) is a triple parity RAID configuration by NetApp. It is implemented by adding a third, “anti-diagonal” parity to RAID-DP. This additional parity is also stored on its dedicated disk.
