Netapp Volume Creation

I have decided to make a quick reminder of things that I usually do after creating a Netapp volume:

vol autosize (vol) on - This will autogrow the volume once a threshold is reached
snap autodelete (vol) on - This will auotmatically delete snapshots when a threshold is reached
sis on (vol) - This turns on single instance storage. You can check the status of SIS by running a df -s
Change the security on the NFS mount for NFS volumes to allow for the IPs of the servers that will use the volume.

Normally this is enough. I will have more information if you are creating a volume that is going to be SnapMirrored.
