POST /storage/volume-efficiency-policies

Introduced In: 9.8

Creates a volume efficiency policy.

Required properties

  • svm.uuid or svm.name - Existing SVM in which to create the volume efficiency policy.

  • name - Name for the volume efficiency policy.

  • type - Type of volume policy.

  • schedule - Schedule the volume efficiency defined in minutes, hourly, daily and weekly.

  • duration - Indicates the allowed duration for a session for policy type "threshold" and "auto".

  • start_threshold_percent - Indicates the start threshold percentage for the policy type "threshold". It is mutually exclusive of the schedule.

  • qos_policy - QoS policy for the sis operation.

  • comment - A comment associated with the volume efficiency policy.

  • enabled - Is the volume efficiency policy enabled?

Default property values

If not specified in POST, the following default property values are assigned:

  • type - auto

  • enabled - true

  • qos_policy - best_effort

  • volume efficiency policy create

Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

_links

comment

string

A comment associated with the volume efficiency policy.

duration

integer

This field is used with the policy types "scheduled" and "auto" to indicate the allowed duration for a session, in hours. Possible value is a number between 0 and 999 inclusive. Default is unlimited indicated by value 0.

enabled

boolean

Is the volume efficiency policy enabled?

name

string

Name of the volume efficiency policy.

qos_policy

string

QoS policy for the sis operation. Possible values are background and best_effort. In background, sis operation will run in background with minimal or no impact on data serving client operations. In best_effort, sis operations may have some impact on data serving client operations.

schedule

schedule

start_threshold_percent

integer

This field is used with the policy type "threshold" to indicate the threshold percentage for triggering the volume efficiency policy. It is mutuallly exclusive of the schedule.

svm

svm

SVM, applies only to SVM-scoped objects.

type

string

Type of volume efficiency policy.

uuid

string

Unique identifier of volume efficiency policy.

ONTAP Error Response Codes

Error Code Description

6881341

Specified schedule not found.

6881344

Failed to queue specified job.

6881345

This operation is not permitted on a node SVM.

6881349
