Determine whether a Flash Pool local tier is using an SSD storage pool in ONTAP

Contributors netapp-thomi netapp-lenida netapp-aherbin

You can configure a Flash Pool local tier by adding one or more allocation units from an SSD storage pool to an existing HDD local tier.

Note 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.

You manage Flash Pool local tiers differently when they use SSD storage pools to provide their cache than when they use discrete SSDs.

Step
  1. Display the local tier's drives by RAID group:

    storage aggregate show-status aggr_name

    If the local tier is using one or more SSD storage pools, the value for the Position column for the SSD RAID groups is displayed as Shared, and the name of the storage pool is displayed next to the RAID group name.
