We do a lot of snapmirror backups for different customers. Every time we have created a new relationship we have to "fiddle" about setting the correct volume settings like autogrow max, autogrow threshold etc. if we don't we end up with volumes that reports 85-90% full (thin of cause) but we like the autosize threshold to be 80% so that the monitoring systems doesn't complain 🙂
I remember back in the day, there was a DataFacricManager (DFM) where you could setup things like this, and it would complain when there were volumes that was not in line with your policies (and you could make it fix this very easy).. is there a similar tool that can manage this? (I don't think ActiveIQ UM can do this?) or can you set the defaults on the cluster/svm ? Does it copy the values from "vol0" when creating new volumes?

AIQUM = DFM's replacement.
Yes but AIQUM doesn't allow volume templates like DFM did... so not much of a help 🙂
It's a replacement, but yes not as feature heavy. 😦
Shoot as heavy as Harvest is developed I bet they could help you out.
I would recommend using Ansible or something similar to create your volumes so that you make sure they are created consistently every time.
