  • 1.  FCM array compression 1.1:1

    Posted 18 hours ago
    Edited by stuart wade 18 hours ago

    Hi,

    I have a customer with two FS5200 FCM4 based units.

    One has compression ratio of 1.3:1 so that's fine..  the second one is 1.1:1. 

    The customer says the same data types are being stored on both units so we are struggling to understand what's going on and the pool physical capacity is at 90% so we got the growth warning in the event log.

    Is there a way to see which volumes are not compressing? i did look at the estimated compression savings option under volumes and there's a huge amount that say 0%. Is that the same as what FCM would compress?

    Code is 8.5.0.12 on both.

    Any insight gratefully received, thanks
