Aggregate requirements for Infinite Volumes
The aggregates that are used by an Infinite Volume must be 64-bit aggregates and must have more than 1.1 TB of available space. If the Infinite Volume uses storage classes, the aggregates must also meet the requirements of the storage class.
The cluster that an Infinite Volume is in can contain 32-bit aggregates, but the aggregates that are associated with any Infinite Volume must all be 64-bit aggregates.
If an aggregate has less than 1.1 TB of available space, it is not used by the Vserver with Infinite Volume. The aggregate must have enough space to store a 1 TB data constituent.
If the Infinite Volume uses storage classes, aggregates must meet the requirements of the storage class to be used. For example, if the storage class is designated to use aggregates of type
SAS
(performance), aggregates created for that storage class must consist entirely of performance disks.

What a namespace constituent is
Each Infinite Volume has a single namespace constituent that maps directory information and file names to the file's physical data location within the Infinite Volume.
Aggregate requirements for Infinite Volumes in a data protection mirror relationship
Before you create a destination Infinite Volume, you must create enough aggregate space in the destination cluster for the destination Infinite Volume to use.
