Cluster: Creating additional Volume from different Aggregate | Node

AdminNetapp091320 — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 05:35:35 GMT

Hello Experts,

I need assistance and hopefully to gain best practices on my concern. Have a look at this:

Given:

Existing Volume Setup :

SVM1 , Node1, Aggr1 , Node1, = existing Vol1 for General cluster .

Required:

Would lie to know if its possible to create a new volume (Vol2) as additional volume for General Cluster? My Aggr1 is almost full so I was thinking to use different aggregate (Aggr2) but currently located in another node. Though I'm still going to use same SVM and Cluster.

SVM1, Node2, Aggr2= New Vol2 as additional volume for General cluster

Please check and advise.

Thanks in advance.

SVMs can own volumes on any aggregate in the cluster.

Note that creating a data lif for SVM1 on node2 will be recommended.

Hi, Thanks for your input. so its going to be with Two (2) LIF once a new data LIF created. See sample below:

	vServer	LIF	Role	Address	Netmask	Curr-node	Curr-port	is-home	broadcast-domain
Existing	SVM1	SVM1_ESXNFS1_nfs_lif1	Data	10.xx.xx.10	255.255.255.0	Node1	a0b-520	TRUE	ESX
New	SVM1	SVM1_ESXNFS1_nfs_lif2	Data	10.xx.xx.20	255.255.255.0	Node2	a0b-520	TRUE	ESX
