VSP One SDS Block provides function for compressing and storing data, enabling the use of volumes with reduced storage pool usage. This type of volume is referred to as a "volume with data reduction enabled".

Carefully read the following when using the volume with data reduction enabled.

  • The effect of data compression differs depending on how easily the data compression can be performed.

  • I/O performance of a volume with data reduction enabled might be lower than that of a volume with data reduction disabled because data compression and decompression are executed.

For details about the data reduction function of volumes, see the VSP One SDS Block System Administrator Operation Guide.
