More information
- What SnapDrive fractional space reservation monitoring does
Fractional space reservation monitoring in SnapDrive for Windows enables you to monitor fractional space reserved for LUNs on a storage system volume.
- Configuring space reservation monitoring
You can configure how SnapDrive for Windows monitors the fractional space reserved for LUNs on a storage system volume.
- Using the storage access control tool to enable thinly provisioned LUNs
You can use the storacl.exe tool on a Windows host to set the space reservation option for any volume on a storage system to manage whether LUNs are fully provisioned or thinly provisioned. Thin provisioning using storacl.exe is not supported with Data ONTAP 8.1 Cluster-Mode.
- What Space Reclaimer does
Space Reclaimer is a SnapDrive for Windows feature that optimizes LUN space by marking newly freed space that is visible to NTFS so that it is also seen as available by Data ONTAP. Using Space Reclaimer lessens the disparity in available space that is reported by the two systems.
