Hello Toasters,
I've come across several docs that make it clear that both secondary and adaptive post-process compression are not compatible with AFF systems. I have yet to find an explanation for this.
Does anybody know why? My best guess is it will shorten the life of the SSD's.
We have several large deduped-but-not-compressed volumes we're migrating from 8.1.4 7-Mode to AFF systems running ONTAP 9.2. I was hoping to run post-process compression on these volumes once cutover to the 9.2 system to reap additional savings.
I'm currently looking into enabling compression before cutting the volumes over to ONTAP9. However, each volume has 70+ snapshots associated with them and I see best practices for compression suggest removing as many snpashots as possible before running the post-process job.
Thank you, Phil
