| **Note** that all of these strategies require unlocking the write protected array or unlocking the array. As in a standard pool, it is recommended to power off all hosts accessing the pool in order to avoid host writes from impacting the success of the plan. | **Note** that all of these strategies require unlocking the write protected array or unlocking the array.

| + | ===== Considerations for compressing and deduplicating back-end ===== | ||
| + | The IBM FlashSystem detects: | ||
| + | * If the MDisk is thin-provisioned. | ||
| + | * The total physical capacity of the MDisk. | ||
| + | * The used and remaining physical capacity of the MDisk. | ||
| + | * Whether unmap commands are supported by the back-end. By sending SCSI unmap commands to thin-provisioned MDisks, the system marks data that is no longer in use. Then, the garbage-collection processes on the back-end can free unused capacity and reallocate it to free space. | ||
| + | * | ||
| + | Using an appropriate compression and or data deduplication ratio is key to achieving a stable environment. If you are not sure about the real compression or data deduplication ratio, contact your IBM technical sales representative to obtain more information. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The nominal capacity from a compression and deduplication enabled storage system is not fixed and it varies based on the nature of the data. Always use a conservative data reduction ratio for the initial configuration. | ||
| + | Using the suitable ratio for capacity assignment can cause an out of space situation. If the MDisks do not provide enough capacity, IBM FlashSystem disables access to all the volumes in the storage pool | ||
