Creating local tiers provides storage to volumes on your system.
|
Prior to ONTAP 9.7, System Manager uses the term aggregate to describe a local tier. Regardless of your ONTAP version, the ONTAP CLI uses the term aggregate. To learn more about local tiers, see Disks and local tiers. |
The workflow for creating local tiers is specific to the interface you use: System Manager or the CLI.
System Manager creates local tiers based on recommended best practices for configuring local tiers.
Beginning with ONTAP 9.11.1, you can decide to configure local tiers manually if you want a different configuration than the one recommended during the automatic process to add a local tier.
Beginning with ONTAP 9.2, ONTAP can provide recommended configurations when you create local tiers (auto-provisioning). If the recommended configurations, based on best practices, are appropriate in your environment, you can accept them to create the local tier. Otherwise, you can create local tiers manually.
