The following table provides the function specifications for the Deduplication/Compression.

*1: If a Deduplication/Compression Volume is created or expanded, expand the DATA_CNTNR Volume according to the total capacity of
the Deduplication/Compression Volumes. If the efficiency of the Deduplication/Compression function cannot be estimated, the
recommended total capacity of Deduplication/Compression Volumes is a capacity smaller than the logical capacity of the
DATA_CNTNR Volume.
*2: When the Deduplication/Compression function is used, the total capacity of the Deduplication/Compression Volumes can be greater
than or equal to the capacity of the DATA_CNTNR Volume. If deduplication/compression is not effective for this case, a write
operation to a Deduplication/Compression Volume may fail due to a capacity shortage of the DATA_CNTNR Volume. The default
logical capacity of the DATA_CNTNR Volume is 32TB.
In addition, if the DATA_CNTNR Volume capacity runs out or is close to running out, an SNMP Trap is sent.
*3: NAS user volumes are not supported.

*1: If a Compression Volume is created or expanded, expand the DATA_CNTNR Volume according to the total capacity of the
Compression Volumes. If the efficiency of the Compression function cannot be estimated, the recommended total capacity of
Compression Volumes is a capacity smaller than the logical capacity of the DATA_CNTNR Volume.
*2: The Compression function can create Compression Volumes whose capacity is equal to or larger than a DATA_CNTNR Volume. In
environments where compression is not effective, a write operation to the Compression Volume may fail due to a capacity shortage
of the DATA_CNTNR Volume. The default logical capacity of the DATA_CNTNR Volume is 32TB.
In addition, if the DATA_CNTNR Volume capacity runs out or is close to running out, an SNMP Trap is sent.
