Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Regarding the operation when specifying –snapshot-blocks true during the execution of volume efficiency start command.

Answer

  • It varies depending on the timing.
  • With the execution of volume efficiency start command, there is an initial stage called "sorting" where the data to be optimized is determined.
  • If a new Snapshot is created before this stage is completed, the efficiency process will be performed. However, if a new Snapshot is created after this stage is completed, the efficiency process will not be performed.
