如何将具有255个以上快照的FlexVol 转换为FlexGroup

适用场景

• ONTAP 9
• FlexGroup

问题描述

• ONTAP 9.7允许将FlexVol 转换为FlexGroup
• 但是、在ONTAP 9.7中
  • FlexGroup 只能支持少于255个快照
  • FlexVol最多可支持1023个快照。

如果在所有版本的ONTAP 9.7中转换具有255个以上快照的FlexVol 、则会引发以下错误：

cluster01::> version

cluster01::>

cluster01::*> volume conversion start -volume myvol -foreground true -check-only true

Error: command failed: Cannot convert volume "myvol" in Vserver "svm1" to a
       FlexGroup. Correct the following issues and retry the command:
       * The volume has more than 254 snapshot copies.  Use the "volume
       snapshot show -vserver svm1 -volume myvol" command to list the Snapshot
       copies present on the volume and remove one or more of them with the
      "snapshot delete -vserver svm1 -volume myvol" command.

       * The volume has Snapshot copies with IDs greater than 255.  Use the
       (privilege: advanced) "volume snapshot show -vserver svm1 -volume myvol
       -logical-snap-id >255 -fields logical-snap-id" command to list the
       Snapshot copies with IDs greater than 255 then delete them using the
      "snapshot delete -vserver svm1 -volume myvol" command.
