How to undo the storage efficiency savings in ONTAP
Applies to
- ONTAP
- Storage Efficiency
- Compression
- Compaction
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 hosting 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
