Does adjusting minimum cooling days reset cold data counters?
Applies to
- ONATP 9
- FabricPool
Answer
No, it doesn't. Here is how it works.
- Adjusting the Volume Tiering Minimum Cooling Days on a given volume doesn't reset any previously accumulated IDR counters on a volume, preserving all current counters.
- Adjusting the Volume Tiering Minimum Cooling Days to a smaller value, allow any previously blocks that were marked aged 30 days or more to begin to tier out accordingly.
Additional Information
- The adjustment of the Volume Tiering Minimum Cooling Days is avaliable starting with ONTAP 9.8.
- The IDR counters will only be reset by either a volume move operation, or by a node reboot.
