c. Select the account that should have access to the volume.
Begin typing and the auto-complete function displays possible values for you to choose.
If an account does not exist, click Create New Account, enter a new account name, and click Create. The
account is created and associated with the existing volume.
a. Change the Quality of Service by doing one of the following:
i. Select an existing policy.
ii. Under Custom Settings, set the minimum, maximum, and burst values for IOPS or use the default
values.
6. Select Save.
Clone volumes
You can create a clone of a single storage volume or clone a group of volumes to make a point-in-time copy of
the data. When you clone a volume, the system creates a snapshot of the volume and then creates a copy of
the data referenced by the snapshot.
Before you begin
• At least one cluster must be added and running.
• At least one volume has been created.
• A user account has been created.
• Available unprovisioned space must be equal to or more than the volume size.
About this task
The cluster supports up to two running clone requests per volume at a time and up to 8 active volume clone
operations at a time. Requests beyond these limits are queued for later processing.
Volume cloning is an asynchronous process, and the amount of time the process requires depends on the size
of the volume you are cloning and the current cluster load.
Cloned volumes do not inherit volume access group membership from the source volume.
Steps
1. Log in to NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control by providing the NetApp HCI or Element storage cluster
If you are using QoS policies on a volume, you can set custom QoS to remove
the QoS policy affiliation with the volume. Custom QoS will override QoS policy
values for volume QoS settings.
When you change IOPS values, you should increment in tens or hundreds. Input
values require valid whole numbers. Configure volumes with an extremely high
burst value. This enables the system to process occasional large block,
sequential workloads more quickly, while still constraining the sustained IOPS for
a volume.
