Change volume efficiency mode

Contributors netapp-lenida

Beginning with ONTAP 9.10.1, two volume-level storage efficiency modes are introduced for AFF systems only, default and efficient. The two modes provide a choice between file compression (default), which is the default mode when creating new AFF volumes, or temperature-sensitive storage efficiency (efficient), which enables temperature-sensitive storage efficiency. You can use the volume efficiency modify command to change the storage efficiency mode that’s set on an AFF volume. You can change the mode from default to efficient or you can set an efficiency mode when volume efficiency is not already set.

Steps
  1. Change the volume efficiency mode:

    volume efficiency modify -vserver <vserver name> -volume <volume name> -storage-efficiency-mode <default|efficient>
