SMcli to disable resource provisioning

[formal marlin]

I have found the CLI for starting resource provisioning, but cannot find the command for disabling
https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/e-series-cli/commands-a-z/start-diskpool-resourceprovisioning.html#supported-arrays
Do we have SMcli command to disable resource provision?

Hey @formal marlin - hope all is well. I was looking through this too, and our new Gen AI Assistant "Doc" is actually pretty good! It pointed me to this page:
https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/e-series-cli/commands-a-z/start-diskpool-fullprovisioning.html

It states in the description "optionally disables resource provisioning on the disk pool."

There's some more details further down:
"The full provisioning format ensures all blocks needed by the volumes in the storage pool are fully mapped on the drives. This command is only applicable to resource provisioned storage pools. If the option to disableResourceProvisioning is not set to FALSE, then the volumes will still be resource provisioned and new volumes created on the storage pool will be resource provisioned. If the option to disable resource provisioning is set to TRUE, then the volumes will no longer be resource provisioned and new volumes created on the storage pool will not be resource provisioned."

Including this:
"disableResourceProvisioning

The setting to specify if resource provisioning should be disabled after the full provisioning operation completes. To skip disabling resource provisioning, set this to FALSE. The default value is TRUE."

Hope this helps - let me know if you still have any issues with disabling resource provision.

I can see the diskPool[Pool1],
But when using CLI: -c "start diskPool["Pool1"] fullProvisioning disableResourceProvisioning=False;"
It says "Unable to obtain information for volume group "Pool1" command at line 1. Probable cause = incorrect volume group name entered."
It says incorrect volume group name??

have you tried it without the quotes, like in the "show" command?

i.e. you are using show diskPool[Pool1] but then start diskPool["Pool1"]

also, if you want to use nested quotes you need to escape them, even in Windows, IIRC

This is correct, I confirmed with engineering that the inside quotes need to be escaped.
-c "start diskPool[\"Pool1\"] fullProvisioning disableResourceProvisioning=False;"

@hot acorn
I tried without quotes but still failed.
Having the same error.
Has anyone tried with this command and successfully enable or disable diskPool ResourceProvisioning?

@formal marlin - my apologies, we'll dig deeper into this. Appreciate your patience in bearing with us.
