The spacereclaimer start command

The spacereclaimer start command starts the SnapDrive space reclamation process.

Syntax for this command is:

sdcli spacereclaimer start [-m MachineName] -d MountPoint [-t TimetoRun]

-d MountPoint specifies the LUN mount point, volume name, or CSV reparse point on which you want to start Space Reclaimer.

-t TimetoRun specifies the amount of time Space Reclaimer will run on the specified LUN. Specify a time from 1 to 10080 minutes (7 days).

Note: Space Reclaimer will run even if the analyzer determined there is no space to reclaim.

Example

sdcli spacereclaimer start -d C:\ClusterStorage\Volume8

The preceding example starts the space reclamation process by specifying the CSV reparse point of a CSV disk.
