Max Aggr Size is based on..
Marketing disk size (4T)Or..Raw block size (3.815T)

Which makes a 400T aggr either 100 disks, or 105.

Beer bet to settle here.   :)

It is based on the right sized capacity. So if this was The Price is Right, the 105 would win. I think the actual answer is 107.

That's where I'm at as well.  Netapp doesnt directly say..but they dont have "round numbers" on anything.

I probly knew this well, in like 2001.

400/3.815=104.85 is pure raw.400/3.807=105.07 is right-sized raw.

Tuna, is best served, raw.

RE: Max Aggr Size is based on.. [ In reply to ]
For those following, I’ve asked the core TMEs for an updated TR-3838 which currently only goes to 3TB disks and “smaller” aggrs than FAS8080 supports.

Hi Tim – long time no see!

RE: Max Aggr Size is based on.. [ In reply to ]
They use TiB on the 400T max aggregate size and GiB on the right size, so 3718 GiB is the right sized 4TB disk. That is where I was getting the 107 from.

They do say the aggregate capacity is based on right sized in writing, but buried in the “Physical Storage Management Guide”, and everyone has better things to do (except me) than reading that!

RE: Max Aggr Size is based on.. [ In reply to ]
max aggregate size is actually based on the following (output from aggr show_space) from our findings:

[cid:image001.png@01D16316.DE8C1DD0]

This is calculated without the Parity Disks (they don’t count into this total space) and matches with Synergy.

So it depends on RG size really, and according to Synergy, you can reach 399.45 TiB with 124 x 4 TB disks and a RG size of 18.
