Enabling the compression feature for an existing Open Systems SnapVault relationship

You can enable the compression feature for bandwidth optimization for an existing Open Systems SnapVault relationship.

Step

  1. To enable the compression feature for an existing Open Systems SnapVault relationship, enter the following command: snapvault modify -o compression=on [-S [prim_host:]dirpath] [sec_system:]sec_qtree_path
    -S specifies the primary storage system and path. It must be given the first time to configure the qtree. It is optional when restarting an initial transfer for a previously configured qtree.

    compression=on enables the compression feature for bandwidth optimization.

    Example
    snapvault modify -o compression=on /vol/vol1/qtree3
    Note: A snapvault modify command becomes effective only with the next transfer. Ongoing SnapVault transfers are not affected.
