Managing inline data compaction for AFA systems

You can control inline data compaction on AFA systems at the volume level using the volume efficiency modify command. Data compaction is enabled by default for all volumes on AFA systems.

Before you begin

Data compaction requires that the volume space guarantee be set to none . This is the default for AFA systems.
Note
The default space guarantee on non-AFA data protection volumes is set to none.
  1. To verify the space guarantee setting for the volume: volume show -vserver vserver_name -volume volume_name –fields space-guarantee
  2. To enable data compaction: volume efficiency modify -vserver vserver_name -volume volume_name -data-compaction true
  3. To disable data compaction: volume efficiency modify -vserver vserver_name -volume volume_name -data-compaction false
  4. To display data compaction status: volume efficiency show -instance

cluster1::> volume efficiency modify -vserver vs1 -volume vol1 -data-compaction true cluster1::> volume efficiency modify -vserver vs1 -volume vol1 -data-compaction false
