Creating local tiers (aggregates) provides storage to volumes on your system.
The workflow for creating local tiers (aggregates) is specific to the interface you use—System Manager or the CLI:
Use System Manager to add (create) a local tier
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.
Use the CLI to add (create) an aggregate
Beginning with ONTAP 9.2, ONTAP can provide recommended configurations when you create aggregates (auto-provisioning). If the recommended configurations, based on best practices, are appropriate in your environment, you can accept them to create the aggregates. Otherwise, you can create aggregates manually.
