ONTAP 9

Description

Space is saved by deduplication (volume and aggregate level), compression (volume level), and compaction (reported at aggregate level under deduplication)
This happens inline (as data is written) or post-operation (scheduled jobs)
Commands can be run in ONTAP 9 CLI to see the reported space savings
