The process for creating aggregates on AFA systems is the same as on a Hybrid system, but you should specify certain options that are specific to AFA.
- Create one data aggregate on each node using 23 partitions and one hot spare partition per node:
| If you want to use... | Then... |
|---|
| Storage Manager | Create the aggregates by using the Aggregate (Tier) Create Wizard. |
| CLI | Enter the following command: storage aggregate create -aggregate <aggr_name> -diskcount <number_of_partitions> [-node <node_name>] |
Example
The following example creates aggregate named aggr0 on a node named node0. The aggregate contains 23 disks.
storage aggregate create -aggregate aggr0 -node node0 -diskcount 23 - Create additional aggregates if your system has more than 48 disks.
