QuestionQ31

Data Storage Software

A customer runs NetApp ONTAP 9.15.1 with ESXi 8.0 and observes that unused NVMe namespace space is not being reclaimed.

What should be done first to resolve this issue?

Explanation

ONTAP 9.15.1 and earlier do not support the NVMe DataSet Management (deallocate) command used for space reclamation. NetApp supports NVMe deallocate with ONTAP 9.16.1 or later for ESXi 8.0u2 and later, so the storage system must be upgraded before unused namespace space can be reclaimed.
