If using snapshots you should set the autogrow to ~2.3 times of the LUN size.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 27 Jan 2011 09:44:31 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Is-autogrow-needed-to-allow-thin-volume-lun-to-grow/m-p/60340#M14197 thomas_glodde 2011-01-27T09:44:31Z Re: Is autogrow needed to allow thin volume / lun to grow https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Is-autogrow-needed-to-allow-thin-volume-lun-to-grow/m-p/60345#M14198 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thats great thanks.</P><P>I would prefer not to use autogrow and only use autodelete - Is this a valid config? </P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 28 Jan 2011 09:27:08 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Is-autogrow-needed-to-allow-thin-volume-lun-to-grow/m-p/60345#M14198 nsitps1976 2011-01-28T09:27:08Z
