Netapp Create Aggregate - Command Line HowTo

How to create a new aggregate on a Netapp filer, note this is a Netapp create Aggregate command line tutorial.

Netapp Create Aggregate Command Line

To show the Netapp Create Aggregate options type:

aggr create

Netapp Create Aggregate using RAID DP

The below command will create a new aggregate using FCAL disks and RAID DP, I am pretty sure raid_dp is the default on Netapp however I specify it for good measure. If you don’t know your disk type you can use the Netapp show disk information command.

1

aggr create aggr1 -T FCAL -n 4 -t raid_dp

This will give you an output similar to:

1

aggr create aggr1 -t raid_dp -d v5.22 v5.21 v5.20 v5.19

Note: the v.5.22 v5.21 v5.20 v5.19 are device numbers.

If you then paste the above command onto the command line it will create an aggregate using the disks referenced above.

1

aggr create aggr1 -t raid_dp -d v5.22 v5.21 v5.20 v5.19

Your output will look similar to:
