SmartDedupe post-process deduplication and inline compression (currently available on the PowerScale F910, F900, F810, F710, F600, F210, F200, H700/7000, H5600, and A300/3000 platforms) are compatible with each other. Inline compression can compress OneFS shadow stores. However, before SmartDedupe can process compressed data, the SmartDedupe job must first decompress the data to perform deduplication. In general, additional capacity savings might not warrant the overhead of running SmartDedupe on node pools with inline deduplication enabled.
