Answer

  • The application parameter is historically used in older ONTAP versions to group volumes for management purposes (e.g., bulk creation or modification).
  • The feature is deprecated in ONTAP 9.10
  • The parameter remains visible in newer ONTAP versions for backward compatibility.
  • The setting is deprecated and does not impact system functionality, regardless of whether the value is set or left as -(dash).
