How to create an aggregate using command line

What is a Aggregate in Netapp

            Disks are combined into raid groups, usually 14+2 using raid dp (o smaller n+2). Raid groups are then concatenated into an aggregate. Once set up disks are added to the aggregate to expand capacity following the raid group policy automatically. Volumes are then created within the aggregate that can contain file systems and/or luns. Volumes are flexible so can be shrunk o grown on the fly


Creating a Aggregate:
aggr create <aggr_name> [-m] –r <raid_size> –t <raid_type> <total_number_of_disks>


Setup a snap reserve on the Aggregate:
snap reserve –A <aggr_name> <snap_reserve_percentage>


Schedule a snapshot on Aggregate:
snap sched –A <aggr_name> <snap_sched>
