Hello,
I’m seeking some clarification on the disk show command in NetApp ONTAP, specifically regarding the difference between physical and usable disk sizes across different NetApp models.
I’ve observed that on AFF (All Flash FAS) models, the physical-size and usable-size values for disks are the same. However, on FAS (Fabric-Attached Storage) models, these values are different. Here are the details from the disk show command for both types of models:
AFF Model
netapp-c1::> disk show -fields physical-size,usable-size
disk physical-size usable-size
------ ------------- -----------
1.0.0 1.75TB 1.75TB
1.0.1 1.75TB 1.75TB
1.0.2 1.75TB 1.75TB

1.0.4 1.75TB 1.75TB
1.0.19 1.75TB 1.75TB

1.0.21 1.75TB 1.75TB

Why are the physical-size and usable-size values the same for AFF model disks but different for FAS model disks?
Thank You !

Hello Vemus,
I don't think it is related to AFF <=> FAS.
I've checked on some of my systems:
Cluster_AFF8080EX::> disk show -fields physical-size,usable-size
disk physical-size usable-size
------- ------------- -----------
Info: This cluster has partitioned disks. To get a complete list of spare disk capacity use "storage aggregate show-spare-disks".
