  • Adding efficiency policies
    You can use Storage Manager to add efficiency policies for running the deduplication operation on a volume on a specified schedule or when the change in volume data reaches a specified threshold value.
  • Editing efficiency policies
    You can use Storage Manager to modify the attributes of an efficiency policy such as the policy name, schedule name, and maximum runtime.
  • Deleting efficiency policies
    You can use Storage Manager to delete an efficiency policy that is no longer required.
  • Enabling or disabling efficiency policies

  • What an efficiency policy is
    An efficiency policy is a job schedule for a deduplication operation on a FlexVol volume or Infinite Volume.
  • Understanding predefined efficiency policies
    You can configure a volume with efficiency policies to achieve additional space savings. You can configure a volume to run inline compression without a scheduled or manually started background efficiency operation configured on the volume.
  • Efficiency Policies window
    You can use the Efficiency Policies window to create, display, and manage information about efficiency policies.
