Starting a deduplication operation using the sis start command with the checkpoint feature

You can start a deduplication operation using the sis start command with the checkpoint feature.

Step

  1. Enter the following command: sis start [-s] [-f] [-d] [-sp] /vol/volname

    The -s option scans the volume completely and you are prompted to confirm if deduplication should be started on the volume.

    The -f option starts deduplication on the volume without any prompts.

    The -d option starts a new deduplication operation after deleting the existing checkpoint information.

    The p option initiates a deduplication operation using the previous checkpoint regardless of how old the checkpoint is.

    Note: This option should be used along with -s only. This is applicable if checkpoint data is corresponding with the gathering stage.
