Capacity saving reduces the used capacity of volumes. You can use capacity saving when you create or update a volume.
A capacity saving volume is a dynamically provisioned volume (DP-Vol) that is capable of compression or both deduplication and compression.
The software includes the following capacity saving options:
- Compression
Compression allows you to reduce the used capacity of your volume.
- Deduplication and compression
Deduplication identifies duplicate data blocks to remove redundancy.
- No
No data compression or deduplication is done.
