The volume efficiency policy show command displays information about efficiency policies. By default, the command displays the following information about all policies:

Vserver: Name of the Vserver that the policy belongs to.
Policy Name: Efficiency policy name.
Job Schedule: Job schedule name.
Duration (Hours): The duration in hours that the efficiency operation can run.
Enable: Whether the policy is enabled or not.
Comment: User specified comment.

You can specify additional parameters to select the displayed information. For example, to display efficiency policies only with duration 5 hours, run the command with the -duration 5 parameter.

The pre-defined policies default and inline-only are available when all the nodes in the cluster are running Data ONTAP version 8.3 or later.

The inline-only pre-defined policy must be used when the user wants to use the inline compression feature without any regularly scheduled or manually started background storage efficiency operations. When a volume is configured to use the inline-only efficiency policy, the system will stop monitoring changes to the data for running the background efficiency operations on the volume. Volumes cannot be configured with the inline-only policy if there is a currently active background efficiency operation.

Parameters

{ [-fields <fieldname>,…]: Selects the fields to be displayed. Vserver and policy are the default fields (see example).
| [-instance ] }: If this parameter is specified, the command displays information about all entries.
[-vserver <vserver name>] - Vserver: Selects information about the policies that match the specified Vserver.
[-policy <text>] - Efficiency Policy Name: Selects information about the policies that match the specified policy name.
[-type {threshold|scheduled}] - Policy Type: Selects information about the policies that match the specified policy type. There are two possible values - threshold and scheduled .
[-schedule <text>] - Job Schedule Name: Selects information about the policies that match the specified schedule.
[-duration <text>] - Duration: Selects information about the policies that match the specified duration hours.
[-start-threshold-percent <percent>] - Threshold Percentage: Selects information about the policies that match the specified start-threshold-percent. Valid only if -type parameter is set as threshold .
[-qos-policy {background|best_effort}] - QoS Policy: Selects information about the policies that match the specified throttling method. The values can be background or best-effort .
[-enabled {true|false}] - Enabled: Selects information about the policies that have the specified enabled setting.
[-comment <text>] - Comment: Selects information about the policies that match the specified comment.
[-policy-owner {cluster-admin|vserver-admin}] - Owner of the Policy: Selects information about the policies that match the specified owner. The values can be cluster-admin or vserver-admin .

Examples

The following example shows all the efficiency policies with the matching Vserver vs1.

cluster1::> volume efficiency policy show -vserver vs1
         Policy       Job        Duration
Vserver  Name         Schedule   (Hours)  QoS Policy  Enabled  Comment
-------- ------------ ---------- -------- ----------- -------- --------------
vs1      default      daily      -        best_effort true     Default policy
vs1      inline-only  -          -        -           -        Inline-Only
                                                               policy
vs1      policy1      daily      -        best_effort true     user-defined
3 entries were displayed.

The following example shows all the policies with the following fields - Vserver (default), policy (default) and duration.

cluster1::> volume efficiency policy show -fields duration
vserver policy      duration
------- -------     --------
vs1     default     -
vs1     inline-only -
vs1     policy1     -
3 entries were displayed.
