ONTAP S3

Answer

Prior to ONTAP 9.14.1 there is no direct relationship between the size of buckets to the FlexGroup volume size and hence when increasing the bucket size the volume size is not updated.

Additional Information

  • Beginning in ONTAP 9.14.1, the default FlexGroup size is based on the size of the underlying buckets.
  • The FlexGroup volume will automatically grow or shrink as buckets are added or removed.
  • Prior to ONTAP 9.14.1, the FlexGroup size is fixed to a default size based on its environment:
    • 1.6PB in ONTAP
    • 100TB in ONTAP Select
  • Automatic FlexGroup sizing with ONTAP 9.14.1 and later
