Hello,

The AGGR is the support for Volimes, Volime can contain NAS or-and LUN

you chose the protocole in the SVM config, @this point you can select NAS or SAN SVM

the AGGR with or without ADP can manage the twice

Hello Ahmed,

We do not need to select aggr’s NAS and SAN work loads.

An aggregate is a collection of physical disks only.
We need to specify the raid type, the owner node and some disk related parameters while creating an aggr. NAS and SAN are not specified here.

Vols, Qtrees, LUNs are logical entities which get created on top of an aggr through which client can access data and these are dedicated to SVM's or Vservers.
We have to specify the NAS and SAN protocol (nfs|cifs|fcp|iscsi) at the vserver level. Not at the aggr level.

Hope this information is helpful.
