creatiing cDOT volume with autogrow and autoshrink

Hi,

how do i fill the cm "Volume Create" command to achive autogrow and shrink function.

dewdfnpc0001::> vol show -volume derotvi0068c_YDC_backup -fields autosize-increment ,autosize-mode,autosize,autosize-grow-threshold-percent,max-autosize,min-autosize,autosize-shrink-threshold-percent

(volume show)

vserver volume max-autosize autosize-increment min-autosize autosize-grow-threshold-percent autosize-shrink-threshold-percent autosize-mode autosize

----------- ----------------------- ------------ ------------------ ------------ ------------------------------- --------------------------------- ------------- --------

dewdfvs0001 derotvi0068c_YDC_backup 70TB 3.75GB 75GB 90% 85% grow_shrink true

On CLI we have folowing settings:

[ -max-autosize {<integer>[KB\|MB\|GB\|TB\|PB]} ]	Maximum Autosize (for flexvols only)
	[ -autosize-increment\|-i {<integer>[KB\|MB\|GB\|TB\|PB]} ]	Autosize Increment (for flexvols only)
	[ -autosize-increment-percent\|-p <percent> ]	Autosize Increment Percent (for flexvols only)
	[ -min-autosize {<integer>[KB\|MB\|GB\|TB\|PB]} ]	Minimum Autosize
	[ -autosize-grow-threshold-percent <percent> ]	Autosize Grow Threshold Percentage
	[ -autosize-shrink-threshold-percent <percent> ]	Autosize Shrink Threshold Percentage
	{ [ -autosize-mode {off\|grow\|grow_shrink} ]	Autosize Mode
	\| [ -autosize {true\|false} ] }	Autosize Enabled (for flexvols only)

I think it must be in field options as ist is on "Template Efficient NAS settings:

"try_first volume_grow"

Cause powershell cmdlet don't have autogrow.

NAME

New-NcVol

SYNOPSIS

Create a volume.

SYNTAX

New-NcVol [-Name] <String> [-Aggregate] <String> [-JunctionPath] <String> [-

Comment <String>] [-AntivirusOnAccessPolicy <String>] [-ExportPolicy <String

>] [-FlexCacheCachePolicy <String>] [-FlexCacheFillPolicy <String>] [-FlexCa

cheOriginVolume <String>] [-GroupId <Int32>] [-IndexDirectoryFormat [<Boolea

bled [<Boolean>]] [-SecurityStyle <String>] [-SnapshotPolicy <String>] [-Spa

ceReserve <String>] [-State <String>] [-Type <String>] [-UnixPermissions <St

ring>] [-UserId <Int32>] [-VserverRoot [<Boolean>]] [-SnapshotReserve <Int32

>] [-VmAlignSector <Int32>] [-VmAlignSuffix <String>] [-VserverContext <Stri

ng>] [-Controller <NcController[]>] [-Size] <String> [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<

CommonParameters>]

Were do i find the equivilant options compared to the CLI? would also be an improvement for the volume create command to be defined in a special field.

Best wishes,

Markus.

Hi Markus,

The certified command "Create volume" is currently not having the parameters to set autogrow mode (grow_shrink..), minimum size and shrink threshold percentage. We have an internal enhancement request filed for adding this in one of the subsequent releases.

If you are planning to write a custom command to lets say, set autosize/autoshrink parameters, then you can use the PS cmdlet Set-NcVolAutosize which supports these settings.

Set-NcVolAutosize [-Name] <String> -Mode <String> [-MinimumSize <String>] [-

GrowThresholdPercent <Int32>] [-ShrinkThresholdPercent <Int32>] [-VserverCon

text <String>] [-Controller <NcController[]>] [[-MaximumSize] <String>] [[-I

ncrementSize] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Thanks,

Shailaja
