Manage volume efficiency operations manually overview
You can manage how the efficiency operations run on a volume by running efficiency operations manually.
You can also control how the efficiency operations run based on the following conditions:
- 
Use checkpoints or not
 - 
Run efficiency operations on existing data or only new data
 - 
Stop efficiency operations if required
 
You can use the volume efficiency show command with schedule as value for the -fields option to view the schedule assigned to the volumes.
