Description

Beginning ONTAP release 9.2, storage efficiency is enabled by default on All Flash FAS (AFF) platforms.

Under certain conditions it may become necessary to undo the SE savings:

Converting a thin provisioned volume to thick and host a LUN, since AFF by default creates thin provisioned volumes
Changing the SE compression type
Changing the application io size to improve the compression savings
