Hi all,

reading this from 7.3.1 release note I’ve been really beated from this. I was thinking to a 2020 full of 1 TB SATA. To have a 16 TB aggregate I should waste 3 TB for few gigs of root! J

Luckly I don’t think that somebody will suggest a 2020 to manage 16 TB of data!!! J

Bye

Increased aggregate capacity for FAS2020 systems

Beginning with Data ONTAP 7.3.1, FAS2020 systems support aggregates up to 16 TB raw capacity,

provided that the root volume is hosted in a dedicated aggregate (that is, one that contains only the root

volume and no user data).

Note: An alternative to maintaining a dedicated root aggregate is to maintain two spare disks. A

dedicated root aggregate configuration of three disks is the recommended best practice for all systems.

However, if such a configuration is not practical in your environment, you must maintain two spare

disks if you configure your FAS2020 system for aggregates larger than 8 TB raw capacity.

If you do not configure aggregates larger than 8 TB raw capacity on your FAS2020 system, the

conditions for two spare disks or a dedicated root aggregate do not apply.

For more information about FAS2020 systems' storage capacity, see the System Configuration Guide.
