Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Advanced Disk Partitioning (ADP)

Answer

  • For entry-level platforms, only the internal drives are partitioned.
  • For All Flash FAS platforms and FAS platforms with only SSDs attached, all drives that are attached to the controller when the system is initialized are partitioned, up to a limit of 24 per node. Drives that are added after system configuration are not partitioned.

Additional Information

Refer to page 24 section "Which drives are partitioned and used for the root aggregate" of Clustered Data ONTAP® 8.3 Physical Storage Management Guide for it.
