How long does it take for space reclaim to reclaim space?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- LUN
- ONTAP System Manager (OSM)
- Windows VM
Answer
The time to complete the reclamation depends on several factors:
- What is the size of the LUNs
- How many write/reads/overwrites the LUNs have
- How much space there is in the aggregate
- If the system needs additional performance for other tasks
ONTAP will schedule the reclaim as needed. Any of the factors can change the time it takes before the blocks are available.
