Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Flexcache

Answer

  • No, ONTAP does not support expansion of FlexCache volumes by adding new constituents after initial creation
  • FlexCache volumes are restricted from constituent addition due to ONTAP design

cluster1::> vol expand -volume cache -aggr-list cluster1_01_SSD_1, cluster1_02_SSD_1 -aggr-list-multiplier 6 -vserver svm1
Error: command failed: FlexCache volumes cannot be expanded.
