Hello experts

Is netapp fas support to configuration max_over_subscription_ratio?

The following is my manila.conf ,i find max_over_subscription_ratio not take effect.

One aggr assign to manila, the capacity is 53T, if max_over_subscription_ration=1.5 take effect, the max provision vol size should < 79T (53*1.5)

Hi Stevenzhang

the max_over_subscription_ratio is supported by the Manila Driver, but its functionality is implemented as follows:

1. Settting the max_over_subscription_ratio to a value above than 1 (1.5 for example), then it is possible to create multiple manila shares, whose total summation exceeds 1.5 times the total capacity of the available aggregates.

In your case, for a 53TB aggregate and a max_over_subscription_ratio value of 1.5, then there can be multiple shares created, whose total capacity will be permitted to be <79T.

The size of a single share will not exceed 53T.

Also, you can probably get a quicker response by posting on the #openstack channel in our Slack workspace. You can join at netapp.io/slack
