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

Question

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).

```
Filesystem ID:  fs-00b23d16e032150db  
SVM ID is :  svm-04c2e2830ff42097e
SVM Name:  AWSDemosvm
```

**I tried Below:**  But did not worked.

    Description: "Create FSx for ONTAP Filesystem"
    Resources:
      AWSDemoVolume:
        Type: "AWS::FSx::Volume"
        Properties:
          Name: AWSBackupDemovol001
          OntapConfiguration:
            JunctionPath: /AWSBackupDemovol001

            StorageVirtualMachineId: 
            - !ImportValue "svm-04c2e2830ff42097e"
            TieringPolicy:
              CoolingPeriod: 0
              Name: AUTO		  
          VolumeType: "ONTAP"
          Tags:
            - Key: "Bacup_Tag"

              Value: "Cloud Micron"
    Outputs:
      FileSystemId:
        Value: !Ref "AWSdemocluster"
      SvmId:
        Value: !Ref "AWSDemosvm"
    ...

Answer

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.

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.
