Creating your file...
Beginning with ONTAP 9.12.1 P2, you can create a new volume or modify an existing volume to enable support for a maximum volume size of 300TB and a maximum file (LUN) size of 128TB.
-
ONTAP 9.12.1 P2 or later is installed on the cluster.
-
If you are enabling large volume support on the source cluster in a SnapMirror relationship, you must have ONTAP 9.12.1 P2 or later installed on the cluster hosting the source volume as well as the cluster hosting the destination volume.
-
You are a cluster or SVM administrator.
Create a new volume
-
Create a volume with large volume and file support enabled:
volume create -vserver _svm_name_ -volume _volume_name_ -aggregate _aggregate_name_ -is-large-size-enabled true
The following example creates a new volume with large volume and file size support enabled.
volume create -vserver vs1 -volume big_vol1 -aggregate aggr1 -is-large-size-enabled true
Modify an existing volume
-
Modify a volume to enable large volume and file support:
volume modify -vserver _svm_name_ -volume _volume_name_ -is-large-size-enabled true
The following example modifies an existing volume to support large volume and file size.
volume modify -vserver vs2 -volume data_vol -is-large-size-enabled true
