Applies to

  • NetApp BlueXP(BXP)
  • Digital Wallet(DW) with Essentials package

Answer

In line with the current design, the "Capacity Exceeded" alert is triggered when the provisioned capacity comes close to the license limit, effectively reminding users of potential capacity constraints.
 
Example:
  • Provisioned volume size(4090GiB):
Capacity Exceeded
  • Digital Wallet Consumed Capacity:
Capacity Exceeded

Additional Information

Total consumed capacity is the total provisioned capacity of all Cloud Volumes ONTAP systems in your NetApp account. The charging is based on each volume's provisioned size, regardless of local, used, stored, or effective space within the volume.

  • Example(for 4TiB Essentials Package License):
  • The Digital Wallet displays the consumed capacity in integer units of TiB.
  • The provisioned volume sizes of 4085GiB (3.989258 TiB) and 4086GiB (3.990234 TiB) both display as 3.99 TiB on the CVO overview page.
  • However, until the value reaches 3.990, it is rounded up to 4TiB in the Digital Wallet and "Capacity Exceeded" alert is triggered.
CVO overview shows Digital Wallet Consumed Capacity shows
3.99 TiB (3.989258 TiB) 3TiB
3.99 TiB (3.990234 TiB)

4TiB

* Note about data-serving storage VMs and how they could result in the capacity license being exceeded.

There is a 4 TiB minimum charge for each data-serving storage VM that has least one primary (read-write) volume. If the sum of the primary volumes is less than 4 TiB, then BlueXP applies the 4 TiB minimum charge to that storage VM.

If you haven't provisioned any volumes yet, then the minimum charge doesn't apply.

For the Essentials package, the 4 TiB minimum capacity charge doesn't apply to storage VMs that contain secondary (data protection) volumes only. For example, if you have a storage VM with 1 TiB of secondary data, then you're charged just for that 1 TiB of data. With the Professional package type, the minimum capacity charging of 4 TiB applies regardless of the volume type.
