I've searched the archives but I can't really find the answer I'm looking for. Running on version 6.3.1.0. I have a primary storage pool running dedup. I run the "ID DEDUP" command, the reclamation command, and the expiration command throughout the daily cycle.
I run the Q STGP F=D command to check the "Duplicate Data Not Stored" numbers and I'm getting 39% right now. Which sounds pretty good, I guess. My question is how to I tell if I'm running the dedup processes aggressively enough. Can I do something to increase that number? I realize that the dedup processes are never really finished because of the new data that is constantly coming in and old data is getting expired. Is there something I can look at to be able to tell if I need to adjust the ID DUP commands I'm running? More processes, less processes or change how long I run it... Something that tells me how much data has not been deduped yet versus how much has been processed. Is that kind of info accessible?
