Expensive properties

There is an added cost to retrieving values for these properties. They are not included by default in GET results and must be explicitly requested using the fields query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.

  • origins.ip_address - IP address of origin.

  • origins.size - Physical size of origin.

  • origins.state - State of origin.

  • size - Physical size of FlexCache.

  • guarantee.type - Space guarantee style of FlexCache.

  • aggregates.name or aggregates.uuid - Name or UUID of aggregrate of FlexCache volume.

  • path - Fully-qualified path of the owning SVM's namespace where the FlexCache is mounted.

constituents_per_aggregate

integer

Number of FlexCache constituents per aggregate when the 'aggregates' field is mentioned.

guarantee

guarantee

lock_consistent_when_disconnected

boolean

Specifies if the origin will honor the cache side locks when doing the lock checks in the disconnected mode. The default value will be set to false to allow origin to skip such lock checks with the disconnected cache and go ahead with processing of the conflicting locks. If set to true the origin denies the lock operation (open or byte-range) if it conflicts with the authority granted to the disconnected cache.

name

string

FlexCache name

origins

array[flexcache_relationship]

path

string

The fully-qualified path in the owning SVM's namespace at which the FlexCache is mounted. The path is case insensitive and must be unique within a SVM's namespace. Path must begin with '/' and must not end with '/'. Only one FlexCache be mounted at any given junction path.

size

integer

Physical size of the FlexCache. The recommended size for a FlexCache is 10% of the origin volume. The minimum FlexCache constituent size is 1GB.

svm

svm

FlexCache SVM

use_tiered_aggregate

boolean

Specifies whether or not a Fabricpool-enabled aggregate can be used in FlexCache creation. The use_tiered_aggregate is only used when auto-provisioning a FlexCache volume.
