For volumes on non-AFF clusters, you can run deduplication, data compression, and data compaction together or independently to achieve optimal space savings.
-
Deduplication eliminates duplicate data blocks.
-
Data compression compresses the data blocks to reduce the amount of physical storage that is required.
-
Data compaction stores more data in less space to increase storage efficiency.
|
These tasks are supported for volumes on non-AFF clusters. Beginning with ONTAP 9.2, all inline storage efficiency features, such as inline deduplication and inline compression, are enabled by default on AFF volumes. |
-
Click Storage > Volumes.
-
Next to the name of the volume for which you want to save storage, click
.
-
Click Edit and scroll to Storage Efficiency.
-
Optional: If you want to enable background deduplication, ensure the checkbox is checked.
-
Optional: If you want to enable background compression, specify the storage efficiency policy and ensure the checkbox is checked.
-
Optional: If you want to enable inline compression, ensure the checkbox is checked.
