Re: [ADSM-L] Deduplication questions, again

Arnaud,
I too am seeing odd percentages where
containerpools and dedup is concerned. I have a small remote server
pair that protects ~23 TB of pre dedup data, but my containerpools show
an occupancy of ~10 TB, which should be a data reduction of over 50%. However,
a q stg on the containerpool only shows a data reduction ratio of 21%.
Of note, I use client-side dedup on all the client nodes at this
particular site and I think that's mucking up the data reduction numbers
on the containerpool. The 21% figure seems to be the reduction AFTER
client-side dedup, not the total data reduction.
It's confusing.
On the plus side, I just put in the
new 7.1.5 code at this site and the compression is working well and does
not appear to add a noticeable amount CPU cycles during ingest. Since
the install date on the 18th, I've backed up around 1 TB pre-dedup and
the compression savings are rated at ~400 GB, which is pretty impressive.
I'm going to do a test restore today and see how it performs but
so far so good.

Hi All,
Another question in regards of TSM container based deduplicated pools ...
Are you experiencing the same behavior than this : using "q stg f=d"
targeting a deduped container based storage pool, I observe following output
:
q stg f=d

Note the "deduplication savings" output ( 0 %)
However, using "q dedupstats" on the same stgpool, I get following
output : (just a snippet of it)

Storage Pool Name: CONT_STG

How does it come that on one side I witness dedup, but not on the other
one ?
Thanks for enlightenments !
Cheers.
Arnaud
