ONTAP 9
FlexGroup (FG)

Issue

A FlexGroup was continually running out of space due to volume dynamics.  Attempting to resize the FG to the  maximum size resulted in the error as seen:

Cluster_CLI::*> vol modify -volume flexgroup_01 -max-autosize 20PB

Error: command failed: One or more of the fields "-max-autosize","-size" are being set/modified. Set the values such that "-max-autosize" and "-size" should always be less than or equal to 600.

The FG was thin provisioned  to allow for potential future continual autogrow to prevent any out of space issues.
