Guidelines for creating a pool when accelerated compression is used

This chapter describes how to install, operate, and maintain a pool that uses an LDEV which is carved from an accelerated compression-enabled parity group. This chapter also describes how to configure the environment for such a pool.

• Estimating FMC capacity to be purchased

• Creating parity groups, LDEVs, and pools

• Monitoring the pool capacity

• Estimating the FMC capacity to be added when the pool capacity is insufficient

• Disabling accelerated compression on a parity group

• Changing the setting of accelerated compression-enabled parity groups to disabled
