Set/Display the autosize settings of the flexible volume.

Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

The volume autosize command allows the user to specify the maximum size that a volume will automatically grow to when it is out of space or the minimum size that it will shrink to when the amount of used space is below a certain threshold. If only the volume/Vserver name is specified then the current settings are displayed. This command is not supported on Infinite Volumes.

Parameters

-vserver <vserver name> - Vserver Name

This parameter can be used to specify the Vserver on which the volume is located.

-volume <volume name> - Volume Name

This parameter specifies the volume for which the user wants to set or display the autosize configuration.

{ [-maximum-size {<integer>[KB|MB|GB|TB|PB]}] - Maximum Autosize

This parameter allows the user to specify the maximum size to which a flexible volume can grow. The default for FlexVol volumes is 120% of the volume size. If the value of this parameter is invalidated by manually resizing the volume or is invalid when the autosize feature is enabled, the maximum size is reset to 120% of the volume size. The value for -maximum-size cannot be set larger than the platform-dependent maximum FlexVol volume size. If you specify a larger value, the value of -maximum-size is automatically reset to the supported maximum without returning an error.

[-minimum-size {<integer>[KB|MB|GB|TB|PB]}] - Minimum Autosize

This parameter specifies the minimum size to which the volume can automatically shrink. If the volume was created with the grow_shrink autosize mode enabled, then the default minimum size is equal to the initial volume size. If the value of the -minimum-size parameter is invalidated by a manual volume resize or is invalid when autosize is enabled, the minimum size is reset to the volume size. This parameter is not supported on Infinite Volumes.

[-grow-threshold-percent <percent>] - Grow Threshold Used Space Percentage

This parameter specifies the used space threshold for the automatic growth of the volume. When the volume’s used space becomes greater than this threshold, the volume will automatically grow unless it has reached the maximum autosize. This parameter is not supported on Infinite Volumes.

[-shrink-threshold-percent <percent>] - Shrink Threshold Used Space Percentage

This parameter specifies the used space threshold for the automatic shrinking of the volume. When the amount of used space in the volume drops below this threshold, the volume will shrink unless it has reached the specified minimum size. This parameter is not supported on Infinite Volu
