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

Capacity saving is significantly effective in reducing the amount of data stored if high data reduction ratio is already observed for other volumes used for similar operations. Enable capacity saving to reduce the amount of data stored on volumes for which the feature is expected to be as effective as it is for other volumes. Disable the feature for volumes where the function is not effectively reducing the amount of data being stored. If you change the capacity saving settings while it is enabled, rehydrating data might take some time.

  • Identify the server name.
  • Identify the volume name.
  • If the planned changes can impact the free space on the pool, check the current amount of free space.
