Hello Michael.

Is this workflow for Clustered Ontap? Or 7-mode only?

Because, when editing Creating volume task or Initiator task, I get empty list of aggregates, volumes etc. But volumes and aggregates on my vserver exists

Hi Aleksandr,

This particular workflow is for Clustered Data ONTAP (Cmode) specifically, it will not work with 7-mode. In for example the "Create Cluster Flexible Volume" task as you mentioned, make sure you choose the "Vserver Name" selection first, once you choose the Vserver, a list of associated Aggregates should become available.

If I select a Vserver, then I click on the "Select" button next to "Aggregate Name", you should now see a list of available aggregates.

Thanks,

Mike
