Create aggregates

Contributors

You can create aggregates yourself or let BlueXP do it for you when it creates volumes. The benefit of creating aggregates yourself is that you can choose the underlying disk size, which enables you to size your aggregate for the capacity or the performance that you need.

Caution All disks and aggregates must be created and deleted directly from BlueXP. You should not perform these actions from another management tool. Doing so can impact system stability, hamper the ability to add disks in the future, and potentially generate redundant cloud provider fees.
Steps
  1. From the left navigation menu, select Storage > Canvas.

  2. On the Canvas page, double-click the name of the Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance on which you want to manage aggregates.

  3. On the Aggregates tab, click Add Aggregate and then specify details for the aggregate.
