[SOLVED] AWS Create ONTAP volume from existing Storage Virtual Machines(SVM)

AWS Create ONTAP volume from existing Storage Virtual Machines(SVM)

I want to create an AWS ONTAP Volume only Based on the existing Storage Virtual Machines(SVM) .

I have SVM ID and Name are available with me in order to use then in the new stack which i am creating to spin the new Volume(s).

My SVM ID is : svm-04c2e2830ff42097e.

Solution

You can give a try which below ..

I have encountered same issue before. There is catch in the template below where as per documentation it says clearly that it needs string thus you don't required !ImportValue here. just remove that, please look at the AWS DOC HERE

Secondly, there is also another problem in the below code as you defined the CoolingPeriod: 0 which is not correct as value can not be zero either it should be minimum 2 or greater.
