I am trying to create a cluster LUN on a NetApp array for which I use the out-of-box task "CreateClusterLUN" in the NetApp Tasks directory. However, it turns out to create a thick provisioned LUN, which I want to change. It doesn't give me any options on the task input mappings and I was wondering if someone has any ideas for this?
Thanks!

Hi Lucas,
As of latest UCSD 6.5, it is a limitation on the out of the box Task where it didn't have an option to enable Thin provisioning on a newly created LUN.
However, you can workaround it through an SSH task. I have attached a sample workflow which connects to NetApp controller and enables Thin Provisioning on a newly created LUN.
Tasks Used:
Create Cluster Flexible Volume
Create Cluster LUN
Get SVM Name (Custom Task)
SSH Command (to enable Thin Provisioning)
The attached workflow was created on UCSD 6.0.1.2 (FYI)
Thanks,
Phani

Thanks Phani, this workflow helped exactly!
I had tried to execute a NetApp CLI command before, which didn't yield the hoped result but now this SSH command did.
Thank you.
