Hi all,
Currently I'm looking into a NetApp filer for which snapvault replication has issues because there is not enough space on the primary side to keep all changes in a snapshot.
I started looking at the output of aggr show_space -h and I wonder where some of the space goes.
I assume Usable space = total space(18TB) - WAFL Reserve (1913GB) - Snap Reserve (344GB).
Is A-SIS space that is taken out of the aggregate usable space?
Space allocated to volumes in the aggregate are Total Space allocated at the bottom of the output.
Used is the sum of the usage of all volumes. Usage of volumes is the sum of data and snapshots in that volume.
Please correct me if I got anything of this wrong.
This is what I can't decipher where space is going:
Aggregate                       Allocated            Used           Avail
Total space                          15TB            10TB           560GB
4,5TB is gone for some reason: 15TB- 10TB = 560GB?
What am I missing here? Are there any other things that should be kept in account? Can someone give a drill down of all elements that are used to get to this number?
Are LUNs counted fully even half of the amount is used?
Is the target free space of a volume also taken into account?
As the volume usage seems correct, then we loose +4TB on the aggregate level? On what?
This is an example:
Aggregate 'aggr0_xxx_fc'
    Total space    WAFL reserve    Snap reserve    Usable space       BSR NVLOG           A-SIS          Smtape
           18TB          1913GB           344GB            16TB             0KB           919GB             0KB
