Creating an aggregate

If you do not want to use an existing aggregate, you can create a new aggregate to provide physical storage to the volume which you are provisioning.

  1. Connect IP-address-of-cluster-management-LIF in an ssh session and log in using your cluster administrator credential.
  2. Run the storage aggregate create command to create an aggregate.

    The following example creates an aggregate named aggr0_node1 on a home node named DM-cluster-01. The aggregate contains the disks specified and uses RAID-DP.

    DM-cluster::> storage aggregate create -aggregate aggr0_node1 -nodes DM-cluster-01 -diskcount 8 -raidtype raid_dp -T SSD
  3. Run the following command to check the aggregate status after complete aggregate creation.

    DM-cluster::> storage aggregate show
