Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Storage Virtual Machine (SVM)

Answer

  • Beginning with ONTAP 9.13.1, you can set a maximum capacity for a storage VM (SVM). You can also configure alerts when the SVM approaches a threshold capacity level.
  • In ONTAP 9.12.1 and below, data SVMs  cannot be limited in storage space other than by the available space in the aggregates assigned to them.
