Hi, I am new to storage, expecially netapp which we got for recetlly. So sorry for stupid questions.

We got e-series e5760 with fw ver 11.70.5. I plan to use it for backup (veem,comvult) but looks like there is no option to create thin disks? At least not in gui (i have win background)

I found this article
https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/e-series-cli/commands-a-z/create-volume-diskpool.html#parameters

but i get errors when creating volumes. I am probably typing something wronglly,example
create volume diskPool="Netapp" userLabel="TestTest" capacity=2TB thinProvisioned=true mapping=none newRepositoryCapacity=2TB repositoryMaxCapacity=2TB warningThresholdPercent=80 repositoryExpansionPolicy=manual

Entering interactive mode. Please type desired command.

create volume diskPool="Netapp_DDP1" userLabel="TestTest" capacity=2TB thinProvisioned=true mapping=none newRepositoryCapacity=2TB repositoryMaxCapacity=2TB warningThresholdPercent=80 repositoryExpansionPolicy=manual
Encountered "<EOF>" at line 1, column 216.
Was expecting one of:
"mapping" ...
"blockSize" ...
"cacheReadPrefetch" ...
"capacity" ...
"existingRepositoryLabel" ...
"freeCapacityArea" ...
"newRepositoryCapacity" ...
"owner" ...
"dataAssurance" ...
"RAIDLevel" ...
"repositoryExpansionPolicy" ...
"repositoryMaxCapacity" ...
"segmentSize" ...
"thinProvisioned" ...
"usageHint" ...
"userLabel" ...
"warningThresholdPercent" ...
";" ...

SMcli failed.

Any help for a young man who is geting into storage is aprecitaed. Thank you

Hi @drifting axle ! Have you tried adding a semicolon to the end of the line? After the word “manual” at the end of your command?
