When creating a new Agger on CVO in Azure what are some best practices for number of disk we should be using?

 

Is it the same as a HW device the more disk the better the performance. Do we need multiple disk for redundancy, is Raid-DP being used?

Cloud Volumes ONTAP relies on the cloud provider for disk availability and durability. Hence, the RAID type for each Cloud Volumes ONTAP aggregate is RAID0 (striping). No other RAID types are supported.


In Azure, an aggregate can contain up to 12 disks that are all the same size. The disk type and maximum disk size depends on whether you use a single node system or an HA pair.
