Hi everyone,
We're currently investigating some significant differences in the reported physical used capacity between NetApp versions 9.13 and 9.14 and would appreciate your insights.
In version 9.13, when querying the physical used capacity using the CLI command
volume show -volume Apr* -fields size,available,total,used,physical-used, we received the following results:
vserver volume size available total used physical-used
-------- ----------- ------- --------- ------- ----- -------------
NetApp_2 Apr_ss_15gb 17.89GB 17.89GB 17.89GB 340KB 340KB
NetApp_2 Apr_ss_70gb 78.86GB 78.86GB 78.86GB 308KB 308KB
However, when querying the same information in version 9.14 with the same CLI command,
volume show -volume Apr* -fields size,available,total,used,physical-used,we observed a notable increase in the reported physical used capacity:
vserver volume size available total used physical-used
-------- ----------- ------- --------- ------- ----- -------------
NetApp_2 Apr_ss_15gb 17.89GB 17.89GB 17.89GB 468KB 17.99GB
NetApp_2 Apr_ss_70gb 78.86GB 78.86GB 78.86GB 456KB 79.30GB
We're trying to understand the reasons behind this discrepancy:
- What constitutes physical used capacity in NetApp?
- What changes were made between versions 9.13 and 9.14 that could account for the differences in physical used capacity?
- What additional data is included in the calculation of physical used capacity in version 9.14 compared to version 9.13?
- Where can we find documentation or resources detailing these changes to better understand how to interpret the physical used metric in our storage environment?
Any insights or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.!
