Creating a thin volumes python / Rest api

[paulo2]

Hi All! 

I am creating a bulk number of volumes with python / Rest api. 

The problem is how to create a volume where a thin provisioning is enabled by default?

I am using python / rest api / ontap library. Could you share the code snippets?

Here is my code snippet:

        volume = Volume()

         volume.name = x["volname"]

         volume.aggregates = [{"name": self.data["aggr"]}]

         volume.size = x["size"]

         volume.svm = {"name": self.data["svm"]}

         pather = "/" + x["volname"]

         volume.nas = {"security_style": "ntfs", "path": pather}

         volume.efficiency = {"compression": "both"}

Check this:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMLP2858435/html/resources/volume.html#netapp_ontap.resources.volume.VolumeSchema.guarantee

Try this (Rest API):
resource.guarantee="none"

Or, (Python client)
Volume.guarantee="none" (Give it a try, sorry I am not a python user)

On the side note:
For AFF storage systems, the value of thin provisioning is “Default”, and for other storage systems, the value of thick provisioning is “Default”.
For FabricPool-enabled aggregates, the value of thin provisioning is “Default”.
