How to enable the space guarantee for SAN volume? I am not using snapshot for that volume also the fractional reserve is set to 100.

[SIP006174]

I have 2.4 TB aggr with 3 volumes.

volume1 is 1 TB with 300 GB free space with 700 GB actual data.

volume 2 is 1 TB ONLY 58 GB FREE SPACE WITH JUST 650 GB ACTUAL DATA (where is the reamining space)the space guarantee shows "volume-disbaled" for this volume

volume 3 is 400 GB with 50 GB free space with 300 GB actual data.

Please see the PIC for more details

Hi,

There could be a number of reasons for this behaviour, most of them associated with the aggregate running out of space.

Try typing "volume guarantee disabled" in the search field on NOW & you will get links to a number of Knowledgebase Articles.

In particular these two seems to be helpful:

https://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=kb10092 (if you are on ONTAP prior to 7.3)

https://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=kb38514 (if you just upgraded to 7.3)

Regards,

Hi,

Do you want to enable space reservation ?

if yes, you can simply type : vol options <vol-name> guarantee=volume

Can you say, what kind of data is inside volume 2. As I can read it properly, you are wondering where has the space gone ?

Can you describe it better ?

[SIP006174]

I have already set the guarantee option to VOLUME. But it shows disabled.

Its an one TB volume with 825 GB of LUN ( No space reservation) inside.

Now i am working in the below link to find out solution for my problem

Please go through attached doc to get the situtauion in detail...
