Create a quote

09/29/2025 Contributors

You can create a quote for a new volume which returns a resource quote needed to satisfy the request. The resource quote contains aggregate information where the volume will be created and confirms if the space is available. This is a recommended step but is not mandatory.

Choose the workflow to use based on the type of Cloud Volumes ONTAP deployment:

Single Node
HA pair
