How is Data reduction displayed on Cluster capacity in System Manager calculated?
Applies to
ONTAP System Manager 9.9.1 or later
Answer
- Data reduction displayed on Cluster capacity in System Manager DASHBOARD is calculated based on Total Data Reduction Logical Used Without Snapshots and Total Data Reduction Physical Used Without Snapshots seen by
storage aggregate show-efficiency -instancecommand at the advanced privilege level

::*> storage aggregate show-efficiency -instance
Name of the Aggregate: <AGGREGATE_NAME>
Node where Aggregate Resides: <NODE_NAME>
Logical Size Used by Volumes, Clones, Snapshot Copies in the Aggregate: 214.1GB
Total Physical Used: 26.41GB
Total Storage Efficiency Ratio: 8.11:1
Total Data Reduction Logical Used Without Snapshots: 85.16GB
Total Data Reduction Physical Used Without Snapshots: 26.04GB
Total Data Reduction Efficiency Ratio Without Snapshots: 3.27:1
Total Data Reduction Logical Used without snapshots and flexclones: 42.30GB
Total Data Reduction Physical Used without snapshots and flexclones: 26.02GB
Total Data Reduction Efficiency Ratio without snapshots and flexclones: 1.63:1
...- It is calculated using the following formula:
(sum of Total Data Reduction Logical Used Without Snapshots for all aggregates) / (sum of Total Data Reduction Physical Used Without Snapshots for all aggregates)
Notes:
- If cluster has only one aggregate, Data reduction matches Total Data Reduction Efficiency Ratio Without Snapshots
- Sum of Total Data Reduction Logical Used Without Snapshots can be seen as LOGICAL USED (9.13.1 or later) or CLIENT DATA (9.12.1 or earlier) on Cluster capacity in System Manager
- System Manager does not display value that corresponds to Total Data Reduction Physical Used Without Snapshots
