Creating and managing Dell Unity Data Reduction from Unisphere, Unisphere CLI, and REST API is easy and intuitive. The following sections outline how to determine if a Pool supports data reduction, how to create a data reduction enabled storage resource, how to enable and disable data reduction, how to determine the current state of data reduction on a resource, and where data reduction savings are reported. Unisphere examples for each of these areas will be shown. For more information about using the Unisphere CLI, refer to the Unisphere Command Line Interface User Guide on Dell Technologies Info Hub. For information about managing Dell Unity Data Reduction from REST API, consult the REST API documentation which can be accessed directly from any Dell Unity system:
