Exploiting Space Efficiency for SVM

Catalogic DPX automatically enables A-SIS on the target volume and initiates scans on these volumes without additional user intervention. To take advantage of the space efficiency features on SVM volumes, the following additional configuration must be performed. Consult your NetApp documentation for details on how to modify roles and users. For additional information see knowledge base article 47006.

Note. Do not modify the built-in NetApp vsadmin role and user.

• Create a new role or modify an existing role to have all the privileges of the predefined "vsadmin" role and also contain the "volume efficiency" privilege. The standard roles available in the SVM do not include the "volume efficiency" privilege. It is recommended that the role be setup exclusively for Catalogic DPX.

• Create a new user or modify an existing user and apply the role detailed in the above step. It is recommended that the user be setup exclusively for Catalogic DPX. The new or modified user on the SVM should also be configured within Catalogic DPX for the STORAGE_CTL node type.

• In NetApp OnCommand System Manager, under Deduplication, select On-demand.
