Configuring deduplication on a volume
If you have not configured deduplication when you created the volume, you can do so later from the Edit dialog box. Deduplication saves storage space by eliminating redundant data blocks within the volume.
Before you begin 
•
The volume must be online.
Steps 
1.
From the Home tab, double-click the appropriate storage system.
2.
Expand the Vservers hierarchy in the left navigation pane.
3.
In the navigation pane, select the Vserver and click Storage > Volumes or Infinite Volumes.
4.
Select the volume for which you want to configure deduplication.
5.
Click Edit, and then click Storage Efficiency.
6.
Select Enable Storage Efficiency.
7.
Select one of the following schedules:
•
On-demand
•
Automated
Deduplication is automatically run when 20 percent new data is written to the volume.
•
Scheduled
8.
If you selected the Scheduled option, select the storage efficiency policy.
9.
Click Save and Close to save your changes.
