Enable or disable data compression

You can turn data compression on or off from the OneFS command line.

This procedure is available only through the OneFS command-line interface (CLI).

The following are the settings for data compression configuration:
  • Enabled: yes
  • Enabled: no
The default setting is Enabled: yes.
NOTE This compression setting only applies to data stored on Isilon F810 and H5600 node pools, and on PowerScale F200 and F600 node pools. Data written to any other node types ignore this setting and are not compressed. If a cluster does not contain a supported node pool, this setting is ignored.
NOTE When you enable compression, OneFS does not go back and compress the data that was written while compression was disabled.
  1. To view the current compression setting, run the following command:
    isi compression settings view
    The system displays output similar to the following example:
    Enabled: Yes
  2. If compression is enabled and you want to disable it, run the following command:
    isi compression settings modify --enabled=False
  3. If compression is disabled and you want to enable it, run the following command:
    isi compression settings modify --enabled=True
  4. After you adjust settings, confirm that the setting is correct. Run the following command:
    isi compression settings view
