How does Aggregate Deduplication affect SnapMirror?
Applies to
- SnapMirror
- Aggregate-level deduplication
- Aggregate deduplication
- Cross-volume deduplication
Answer
- Aggregate-level deduplication eliminates duplicate blocks across volumes belonging to the same aggregate
- Aggregate deduplication savings (inline or background / post-process) on a SnapMirror source are not retained by SnapMirror transfers
- This has no impact to SnapMirror maintaining volume-level storage efficiency savings from the source
- SnapMirror destination clusters can use aggregate deduplication with type-DP SnapMirror destination volumes
- This has no impact to SnapMirror maintaining volume-level storage efficiency savings from the source
