ONTAP 9.12.1 commands

schedule is [day_list][@hour_list] or [hour_list][@day_list] or - or auto or manual

The day_list specifies the days of the week that an efficiency operation should run. It is a list of the first three letters of the day (sun, mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat), separated by a comma. Day ranges such as mon-fri can also be used. The default day_list is sun-sat. The names are not case sensitive.

The hour_list specifies the hours of each scheduled day that an efficiency operation should run. The hour_list is from 0 to 23, separated by a comma. Hour ranges such as 8-17 are allowed. Step values can be used in conjunction with ranges (For example, 0-23/2 means every two hours in a day). The default hour_list is 0, i.e. at midnight of each scheduled day.

When efficiency is enabled on a volume for the first time, an initial schedule is assigned to the volume. This initial schedule is sun-sat@0, which means run once every day at midnight.

If "-" is specified, no schedule is set on the volume. The auto schedule string triggers an efficiency operation depending on the amount of new data written to the volume. The manual schedule string prevents SIS from automatically triggering any operations and disables change-logging. This schedule string can only be used on SnapVault destination volumes. The use of this schedule is mainly desirable when inline compression is enabled on a SnapVault destination volume and background processing is not necessary.

Note that schedule and policy are mutually exclusive options.

Note that schedule and policy are mutually exclusive options.

You can use the inline-only predefined efficiency policy to run inline compression without the need of any background efficiency operations.

The available efficiency modes are:

You can use the inline-only predefined efficiency policy to run inline deduplication without the need of any background efficiency operations.
