What happens if tiering-minimum-cooling-days is extended before data that is determined as cold are sent to cloud tier?
Applies to
ONTAP 9
Answer
-tiering-minimum-cooling-days option prevents tiering scanner from sending cold data to cloud tier through transfer engine.
- If tiering scanner has already sent cold block information to transfer engine, those blocks will be sent to cloud tier regardless of the change in
tiering-minimum-cooling-days. - If tiering scanner has not yet sent cold block information to transfer engine, tiering scanner will not send new data to transfer engine until
tiering-minimum-cooling-daysarrives.
