After deploying an AFF A400, you want to deploy a storage virtual machine (SVM) to...

To deploy an SVM to serve SMB data, you must have sufficient space for the root volume, a non-root aggregate in the online state, and synchronize the cluster time. The root volume is the volume that contains the SVM configuration and metadata, and it must have enough space to accommodate the SVM growth1. The non-root aggregate is the aggregate that contains the data volumes that you will create and share using SMB2. The cluster time is the time that is synchronized across all nodes in the cluster, and it must be consistent with the Active Directory domain time to avoid authentication failures3. Encryption is not required on the root volume, asit does not store any user data. Export policies are not relevant for SMB access, as they are used to control NFS access4. References :- SVM root volume overview, Create a new SVM with a CIFS volume and share, Synchronize the cluster time, Export policy overview
