<h1 class="topictitle1">Start disk compression</h1>
|
|
<div><div class="p">Compression increases the apparent capacity of disk units by encoding the
|
|
data to take up less physical storage space. Compression does affect performance
|
|
because of the overhead required to compress and decompress the data. You
|
|
may choose to compress data that you access infrequently or that does not
|
|
require high I/O performance rates. If you want to compress a nonconfigured
|
|
disk unit or a disk unit in an independent disk pool that is unavailable,
|
|
you can do so when your system is fully restarted. For all other disk pools,
|
|
you need to restart your server to the DST mode before compressing them. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Disk
|
|
compression is only capable on systems with IOAs released before V5R2.</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="p">To start disk compression, follow these steps:<ol><li>Expand <span class="uicontrol">All Disk Units</span>.</li>
|
|
<li>Select the disk units that you want to compress.</li>
|
|
<li>Right-click a selected disk unit and select <span class="uicontrol">Start Compression</span>.</li>
|
|
<li>Follow the instructions on the resulting dialog box to start compression
|
|
on the selected disk units.</li>
