As with enabling data reduction, data reduction can be disabled at any point in time on a supported storage resource. Advanced Deduplication can also be disabled at any time without disabling data reduction if required. These operations can be completed in Unisphere from the properties window of the storage resource, or by utilizing Unisphere CLI or REST API. If Advanced Deduplication is disabled, all deduplication savings achieved by Advanced Deduplication are unchanged and the data is left in its current state. As data is overwritten, the data is subject to the data reduction algorithm if still enabled or written in its original form if data reduction is disabled. If data reduction is disabled, all data for the storage resource is left in its current state within its Pool, whether it is deduplicated, compressed, or not. Data written after disabling data reduction will be stored in its original form. As data that has been deduplicated or compressed is overwritten, data reduction savings are reduced on the storage resource. To fully remove data reduction savings from a Block storage resource, Local LUN Move can be utilized by specifying a non-data reduction enabled destination.
