Creating a volume efficiency policy to run efficiency operations
You can create a volume efficiency policy to run deduplication or data compression followed by deduplication on a volume for a specific duration, and specify the job schedule using the volume efficiency policy create command.
Before you begin
You must have created a cron schedule using the job schedule cron create command. For more information about managing the cron schedules, see the System Administration Reference.
About this task
An SVM administrator with default predefined roles cannot manage the deduplication policies. However, the cluster administrator can modify the privileges assigned to an SVM administrator by using any customized roles. For more information about the SVM administrator capabilities, see the Administrator Authentication and RBAC Power Guide.Examples
The following command creates a volume efficiency policy named pol1 that triggers an efficiency operation daily: volume efficiency policy create -vserver vs1 -policy pol1 -schedule daily
The following command creates a volume efficiency policy named pol2 that triggers an efficiency operation when the threshold percentage reaches 20%: volume efficiency policy create -vserver vs1 -policy pol2 -type threshold -start-threshold-percent 20%
