Efficiency policy
An efficiency policy is a job schedule for a deduplication operation. A job schedule is a time-based cron—for example, every Tuesday at midnight.
Interval-based schedule—for example, every 15 hours—cannot be used to create an efficiency policy. There are no default or built-in efficiency policies. You have to create an efficiency policy before enabling storage efficiency on a volume.
