The customer tried to do a first pass copy of data (CIFS) in preparation of a migration. During the copy operation, the unit complained about a flex group volume being full. Upon examination with us, we found that 3 out of 6 volume constituant (all residing on one aggregate, node1) were full. Why are the other 3 constituant still empty? &nbsp;Thanks for your insights!</P> Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:07:39 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/FlexGroup-Volume-half-of-constituant-are-full/m-p/429862#M39601 JFMartin_ESI 2025-06-04T10:07:39Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/FlexGroup-Volume-half-of-constituant-are-full/m-p/429863#M39602 <P>All were created at the same time?&nbsp; &nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Capacity on both aggrs good?&nbsp; &nbsp;</P> Wed, 08 Dec 2021 19:42:20 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/FlexGroup-Volume-half-of-constituant-are-full/m-p/429863#M39602 SpindleNinja 2021-12-08T19:42:20Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/FlexGroup-Volume-half-of-constituant-are-full/m-p/429866#M39603 <P>Since it was a brand new unit, yes, space on aggr was ok. I think not all constituant were created at the same time as the customer realize that initially, constituant were on one aggr only (node1)... then I came in and told him that node2 has space and could be added so the load is distributed. not sure how the other constituant were created on node2.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 08 Dec 2021 20:25:17 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/FlexGroup-Volume-half-of-constituant-are-full/m-p/429866#M39603 JFMartin_ESI 2021-12-08T20:25:17Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/FlexGroup-Volume-half-of-constituant-are-full/m-p/429868#M39604 <P>That could very well be it.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Currently,&nbsp; If you add new ones they will be empty,&nbsp; new data will be placed in them as new files are written in, but it will also try and still place in the existing ones.&nbsp; &nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Since it's a new build/migrate etc.&nbsp; I would just start over.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Wed, 08 Dec 2021 20:37:13 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/FlexGroup-Volume-half-of-constituant-are-full/m-p/429868#M39604 SpindleNinja 2021-12-08T20:37:13Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/FlexGroup-Volume-half-of-constituant-are-full/m-p/429869#M39605 <P>This could be a possible solution... the customer won't like to re-do its scp/robocopy pass but ...&nbsp;</P> Wed, 08 Dec 2021 20:40:22 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/FlexGroup-Volume-half-of-constituant-are-full/m-p/429869#M39605 JFMartin_ESI 2021-12-08T20:40:22Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/FlexGroup-Volume-half-of-constituant-are-full/m-p/429870#M39606 <P>That's currently the behaivor,&nbsp; but it's worth asking.&nbsp; I have worked through it before with customers.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 08 Dec 2021 20:44:26 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/FlexGroup-Volume-half-of-constituant-are-full/m-p/429870#M39606 SpindleNinja 2021-12-08T20:44:26Z
