Hi Team,

I need your help to understand NetApp aggregate configuration; there is space mismatch on GUI and CLI.

Hi @aggregate,

Can you please be a little more specific with the space mismatch that you are seeing?

What version of ONTAP are you using?
What hardware/software platform are you seeing this on?
Can you provide screenshots?

It should be noted that the CLI units are shown in base-10 (MB/GB/TB) but they are actually in base-2 (MiB/GiB/TiB) which is shown in the GUI..... reference https://kb.netapp.com/on-prem/ontap/Ontap_OS/OS-KBs/What_are_the_units_used_for_capacity_values_in_ONTAP_CLI .

Hi @chenguanghui ,

Yes this is for older versions of ONTAP, version 9.9.1 brings enhancements "Now you can view the logical used space by Snapshot copies in ONTAP, as well as seeing what your storage efficiency ratios look like with and without Snapshot copies."
