Hi,
We've just upgraded to DART 5.6. We were looking forward to taking advantage of the new dedup features but when we try and enable this feature we get an error.
It appears that you can't use dedup on a filesystem which is being replicated using replicator v1.
Just wondered if there is anyway around this - we weren't aware of the restriction.
Thanks,
Sheppie

I wish someone had told our sales rep thatWe got a hefty quote for the upgrade.
However - if others are getting for free then so should we! Thanks for the info.

if the unit is under support contract, all labor / software should be provided for free. You should only pay for actual hardware or any profession services engagements.266

Hi Sheppie,
ask your sales rep to look for model number NS-REPV1V2-U or to contact product management.

you'd have to convert to RepV2 or remove the replication
whats the reason to still use RepV1 ?
