Anyone using compression on their Compellent? I just enabled for our 2 large file server volumes (~2 tb each) and am seeing some crazy numbers in Enterprise Manager. It appears that it compressed almost 1.3-1.5 TB of data into ~50 GB. If so, thats one<ADMIN NOTE: Profanity removed as per TOU>of a compression algorithm!
Maybe I'm just misunderstanding what is going on here?
For example:
Configured Space: 2 TB
Free Space: 477.52 GB
Total Disk Space (WHAT????): 142.16 GB
Actual Space: 1.62 TB
Active Space: 1.53 TB (1104.76%)
Replay Space: 90.45 GB (63.62%)
Savings vs RAID 10 (WHAT AGAIN?): 3.09 TB
On the other hand under Disk space saved through compression its showing ~5.72 GB.
Somewhere the statistics must be off... Right?
