Creating qtrees with FlexGroup volumes

Starting with ONTAP 9.5, you can create qtrees with FlexGroup volumes. Qtrees enable you to partition your FlexGroup volumes into smaller segments that you can manage individually.

About this task

  • If the source FlexGroup volume has qtrees in a SnapMirror relationship, the destination cluster must be running ONTAP 9.5 or later (a version of ONTAP software that supports qtrees).

  • Qtree statistics are supported for FlexGroup volumes.

Create a qtree in the FlexGroup volume: volume qtree create -vserver vserver_name -volume volume_name -qtree qtree name

You can optionally specify the security style, SMB/CIFS oplocks, and export policy for the qtree.

Example

cluster1::> volume qtree create -vserver vs0 -volume fg1 -qtree qtree1 -security-style mixed
