Re: deduplication status
39 is actually not a great number; it means you are getting less than 2 for 1 dedup. Unless you have backups running hard 24 hours a day, those dedup processes should finish. When you do Q PROC, if the processes have any work to do, they show as ACTIVE, if not they show IDLE. I'd think that at some point during the day, you should have at least one of them go idle, then you know you have been as aggressive as you can be. If not I'd add processes until you can see some idle time on at least one of them. Just my 2cents.

Re: Deduplication Status
Thanks for all the answers. I finally figured out why I wasn't seeing anything . . . it helps to read everything . . . I didn't realize the the duplicate data is not released until reclamation processing. Thanks all.

Re: Deduplication Status
Hi Andy, there are 2 sources for this information. A column in the stgpools table has the MB saved - tsm: >select cast(stgpool_name as char(20)) as "Name", - cast(space_saved_mb / 1024.0 / 1024.0 as decimal(6,2)) as "T Saved" from stgpools Name T Saved - - BKP_0 BKP_1A0.00 BKP_1B0.00 BKP_2 24.38 Or 'q stg f=d' will show it - tsm: >q stg bkp_2 f=d Storage Pool Name: BKP_2 Storage Pool Type: Primary Device Class Name: VT01_50GB Estimated Capacity: 50,775 G ... ... ...
