autosize IncrementSize set to 3% - cDOT

JSHACHER11 — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 04:51:06 GMT

I would like to set 'autosize' increment size to 3% of the volume, in all volumes (respectively) across the board - how can that be done please?

cDOT 8.2.3

$vols = Get-NcVol

Foreach ($vol in $vols) {
Set-NcVolAutosize -Name $vol -IncrementSize << 3% of the volume size
}

thank you

Set-NcVolAutosize [-Name] <String> -Mode <String> [-MinimumSize <String>] [-GrowThresholdPercent <Int32>] [-ShrinkThresholdPercent <Int32>] [-VserverContext <String>] [-Controller <NcController[]>]
[[-MaximumSize] <String>] [[-IncrementSize] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

man set-ncvolautosize -full

what's wrong with using -growthresholdpercent

that is the percentage of when the autogrow will kick in. for example, if the volume reach 92%, the volume will be increased. what I am after is the increment size (by how much to increase when the threshold had been reached) and that cannot take percentage so I am looking for a way to script a calculation of 3% of each volume and use that in -IncrementSize

thanks for the help

This should get you started

get-navol | % {

$v = get-navolsize $_.name
$3pct = ($v.volumesize *.03)/1mb
write-host "Volume Name:" $_.name "size: " $3pct
}

thank you

it did get me started though it still doesn't resolve my issue. I cannot use $3pct as the variable in -IncrementSize

so this option (increment size by percentage) is available in the cDOT commands:

[-autosize-increment-percent | -p <percent>] - Autosize Increment Percent

why isn't it available in PoSh?

-IncrementSize <String>
        Specify the flexible volume's increment size using the following format
        
        <number>[k|m|g|t]

Can it be included in 3.3 please?

Thank you
