NetApp ONTAP Volume
Schema for a NetApp ONTAP storage volume. A volume is a logical container for data within a storage virtual machine (SVM), provisioned from an aggregate (local tier). Volumes support NAS (NFS/CIFS) and SAN (iSCSI/FCP) protocols and provide features such as snapshots, cloning, tiering, encryption, and quality of service.

Properties
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| uuid | string | Unique identifier for the volume, assigned by ONTAP upon creation |
| name | string | Volume name, unique within the SVM. Must begin with a letter or underscore and contain only letters, digits, underscores, and hyphens. |
| type | string | Volume type: rw (read-write, default), dp (data-protection for SnapMirror destinations), ls (load-sharing mirror) |
| state | string | Current operational state of the volume |
| style | string | Volume style indicating the underlying architecture |
| size | integer | Total provisioned size of the volume in bytes |
| comment | stringnull | Optional comment or description for the volume |
| language | string | Language encoding setting for the volume, controlling character set and case-folding behavior |
| create_time | string | Timestamp when the volume was created |
| svm | object | Storage virtual machine (SVM) that owns the volume |
| aggregates | array | Aggregates hosting the volume. A FlexVol volume resides on a single aggregate; a FlexGroup volume can span multiple aggregates. |
| space | object | Space utilization and configuration for the volume |
| nas | object | NAS-specific configuration including junction path, security style, and export policy |
| guarantee | object | Space guarantee configuration determining how space is reserved |
| snapshot_policy | object | Snapshot policy governing automatic snapshot creation and retention |
| qos | object | Quality of service settings controlling throughput and IOPS limits |
| tiering | object | FabricPool tiering policy controlling data movement to cloud storage |
| encryption | object | Volume encryption configuration and state |
| autosize | object | Volume autosize settings for automatic grow and shrink behavior |
| clone | object | Clone information if this volume is a FlexClone |
| _links | object |
