An Overview of some NetApp Data ONTAP Tuning Options

Note: The commands below are Data ONTAP 7-Mode commands. They can be run in Clustered Data ONTAP by simply placing run -node nodename -command infront (the information actually comes from a Clustered Data ONTAP 8.1.X system.)

Listed in this post:

- maxfiles
- aggr options (all 13)
- vol options (all 41)
- options *.* (97 listed and includes disk.*, raid.*, and wafl.*)

Maxfiles (Inodes)

To query the number of inodes in a FlexVol:
maxfiles volumename
To increase the number of inodes in a FlexVol:
maxfiles volumename 10000000
IMPORTANT: “Increasing the maximum number of files consumes disk space, and the number can never be decreased. Configuring a large number of inodes can also result in less available memory after an upgrade, which means you might not be able to run WAFL_check.”
