Your volume is in a MISCONFIGURED state - FSx for ONTAP
Volume over 98% fullBlock storage volume is offlineOffline FlexCache origin volume

There are a number of potential causes for an ONTAP volume to get into a MISCONFIGURED state, described in the following topics.

Your volume is more than 98% full

Your file system currently contains a volume which is more than 98% full. We recommend that you do not exceed 95% utilization of your volume on an ongoing basis. If you do not free up space in the volume before your file system’s next maintenance window, Amazon FSx will disable opportunistic locking on the volume, breaking any existing “oplocks”. Amazon FSx will re-enable oplocks on the volume after the patching process completes. To avoid this, please reduce the volume's storage capacity utilization to below 98%. Some of the ways to achieve this include:

  • Increasing the size of the volume.

  • Deleting unneeded data.

  • Deleting unneeded snapshots.

For more information, see Updating storage capacity, and Deleting snapshots.

Your offline volume has an iSCSI LUN or an NVMe/TCP namespace

Your file system currently hosts a volume which is in an offline state, and that volume contains an iSCSI LUN, or an NVMe/TCP namespace, or both. We recommend that you keep volumes online on an ongoing basis. If you do not online this volume before your file system’s next maintenance window, Amazon FSx will temporarily disable the iSCSI and/or NVMe/TCP protocols on the Storage Virtual Machine for the duration of the patching operation. To avoid this, please online or delete the volume.

To bring an offline volume back online, use the volume online ONTAP CLI command, as shown in the following example. If only one SVM (Vserver) exists, you do not need to specify the -vserver parameter.

FsxID-abcdef123456::> volume online -volume volume_name -vserver svm_name
   
Volume 'vs1:vol1' is now online.

Your offline volume is a FlexCache origin

Your file system contains a FlexCache origin volume which is in an offline state. We recommend that you keep volumes online on an ongoing basis. If you do not online this volume before your file system’s next maintenance window, Amazon FSx will temporarily online this volume for the duration of the patching operation. During this time, it is possible that data will be written back to the FlexCache origin volume with data from the cache volume. To avoid this, please online or delete the volume.

To bring an offline volume back online, use the volume online ONTAP CLI command, as shown in the following example. If only one SVM (Vserver) exists, you do not need to specify the -vserver parameter.

FsxID-abcdef123456::> volume online -volume volume_name -vserver svm_name
   
Volume 'vs1:vol1' is now online.
