Enabling & starting Dedup

To Enable dedup on a volume: sis on path

where path is the complete path to the FlexVol volume, ie. /vol/vol1.

To start dedup operations: sis start [-s] [-f] [-d] [-sp] /vol/volname

• The —s option scans the volume completely and you are prompted to confirm if deduplication should be started on the volume.
• The —f option starts deduplication on the volume without any prompts.
• The —d option starts a new deduplication operation after deleting the existing checkpoint information.
• The p option initiates a deduplication operation using the previous checkpoint regardless of how old the checkpoint is. Note: This option should be used along with -s only. This is applicable if checkpoint data is corresponding with the gathering stage.
