Deciding whether to use the Disks and Aggregates Power Guide
This guide describes how to manage ONTAP physical storage. It shows you how to create, expand, and manage aggregates, how to work with Flash Pool aggregates, how to manage disks, and how to manage RAID policies.
You should use this guide under the following circumstances:
You want to use the command-line interface (CLI), not ThinkSystem Storage Manager for DM Series or an automated scripting tool.
You want to use best practices, not explore every available option.
You have a MetroCluster configuration and you are following the procedures in the MetroCluster documentation for initial configuration and guidelines for aggregates and disk management.
If you require additional configuration or conceptual information, you should choose among the following documentation:
Conceptual background for disk and aggregate management
FlexVol volumes, FlexClone technology, and storage efficiency features
NAS file access
SAN host provisioning
MetroCluster documentation
