ONTAP 9

to Japanese version

Monitor the space usage of a FlexGroup volume

You can view a FlexGroup volume and its constituents, and monitor the space used by the FlexGroup volume.

About this task

Elastic sizing is supported. ONTAP automatically grows a constituent of a FlexGroup volume if it is running out of space by shrinking any other constituent in the FlexGroup volume that has free space by an equivalent amount. Elastic sizing avoids any out-of-space errors that are generated because of one or more FlexGroup constituent volumes running out of space.

Beginning with ONTAP 9.9.1, logical space reporting and enforcement is also available for FlexGroup volumes. For more information, see Logical space reporting and enforcement for volumes.

Step
  1. View the space used by the FlexGroup volume and its constituents: volume show -vserver vserver_name -volume-style-extended [flexgroup | flexgroup-constituent]

    cluster-2::> volume show -vserver vs1 -volume-style-extended flexgroup
    Vserver   Volume       Aggregate    State      Type       Size  Available Used%
