Hi,

Just wondering if anyone here is running a 8200 with compress/dedupe on 3.3.1 MU2+ code?

I have a fairly light workload that I want to look at using compression/deduplication for. Just generic VM workloads (application servers) (10-15K IOPS peaks - 90/10 read/write).

Don't mind if I see response times with peaks up to 5-10ms...that would be fine for this workload.

and have another shelf to addon, after our testing for windows+vmware looks good.

Just noticed there is a 16tb limit on compression.
We had a 15tb windows file server running (Dell server running Windows Server 2012 R2)
I presented a 16tb 3par TDVV LUN did a robocopy of the data and the copy failed windows drive has run out of space.

"showvv"
Code:
126650  mbk.ssd.ntfs.files  tdvv Yes   Yes   base  ---     126650 RW normal              0 12101760  16777216
