Modifying the capacity saving setting for volumes

You can modify the capacity saving setting (deduplication and compression) for volumes.

You can change the capacity saving settings for volumes that share data reduction with snapshots. If you change the capacity saving settings while it is enabled, rehydrating data might take some time.

Using a compression accelerator can reduce the load on the storage system caused by data compression. When enabling capacity saving settings, it is recommended that you enable and use a compression accelerator. Note that changing the capacity savings compression method when using compression acceleration means that the new method is applied to all volume data and the processing takes some time.

For details on the capacity saving function, see the Provisioning Guide.
