You might want to configure a larger snapshot reserve to prevent snapshots from using space reserved for the active file system. You can decrease the snapshot reserve when you no longer need as much space for snapshots.

Step

  1. Modify the snapshot reserve:

    volume modify -vserver SVM -volume volume -percent-snapshot-space snap_reserve

    Learn more about volume modify in the ONTAP command reference.

    The following example sets the snapshot reserve for vol1 to 10 percent:

    cluster1::> volume modify -vserver vs0 -volume vol1 -percent-snapshot-space 10
