Is it required to verify that deduplicated volumes and aggregates contain sufficient free space for ONTAP upgrade
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Storage Efficiency
- FlexGroup
- FlexVol
Answer
- No, it is not required since ONTAP ugrade processes only involve root volume.
- Even if deduplicated volumes and aggregates doesn't contain sufficient free space, it will not affect ONTAP update but the efficiency might not work normally.
Notes:
- To ensure that deduplication works properly, user need to verified that enough free space exists in volumes and aggregates that enabled deduplication.
- Refer to Enable deduplication on a volume for more details. This also applies to FlexGroup.
