Set storage efficiency mode during volume creation
Contributors
Beginning with ONTAP 9.10.1, you can set the storage efficiency mode when creating a new AFF volume. Using the parameter -storage-efficiency-mode, you can specify whether the volume uses either the efficient mode or the default performance mode. The -storage-efficiency-mode parameter is not supported on non-AFF volumes or on data protection volumes.
Create a new volume using efficient mode
To set the efficiency mode when enabling storage efficiency, you can use the -storage-efficiency-mode parameter with the value efficient.
-
Create a new volume with efficiency mode enabled:
volume create -vserver <vserver name> -volume <volume name> -aggregate <aggregate name> -size <volume size> -storage-efficiency-mode efficientvolume create -vserver vs1 -volume aff_vol1 -aggregate aff_aggr1 -storage-efficiency-mode efficient -size 10g
Create a new volume using performance modes
Performance mode is set by default when you create new AFF volumes with temperature-sensitive storage efficiency. Optionally, you can use the default value with the -storage-efficiency-mode parameter.

Create a new volume with efficiency mode enabled:
volume create -vserver <vserver name> -volume <volume name> -aggregate <aggregate name> -size <volume size> -storage-efficiency-mode defaultvolume create -vserver vs1 -volume aff_vol1 -aggregate aff_aggr1 -storage-efficiency-mode default -size 10g
System Manager procedure
Beginning with ONTAP 9.10.1, you can use System Manager to enable higher storage efficiency using the temperature-sensitive storage efficiency feature. Performance-based storage efficiency is enabled by default.
-
Click Storage > Volumes.
-
Locate the volume on which you want to enable or disable storage efficiency, and click
. -
Click Edit, and scroll to Storage Efficiency.
-
Select Enable Higher Storage Efficiency.
