It is enabled on the vSAN cluster level, which means once it is enabled it will be always enabled on all the VMs on the datastore in the cluster.</P><P>You may refer to the below document which has the details on disabling Deduplication and Compression features.<BR /><A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.virtualsan.doc/GUID-5A01D0C3-8E6B-44A7-9B0C-5539698774CC.html" target="_blank">https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.virtualsan.doc/GUID-5A01D0C3-8E6B-44A7-9B0C-5539698774CC.html</A></P><P>A few best practices for VMs where compression or deduplication is not enabled are as below:</P><P>1. Use the latest version of HPE SimpliVity firmware and software.<BR />2. Create seperate datastore for each VMs.<BR />3. Avoid creating too many datastores, as this can reduce the efficiency of the HPE SimpliVity cluster.<BR />4. You can use the HPE SimpliVity Health Check tool to help you monitor your cluster to avoid outages.<BR />5. Use Virtual Machine overrides to place Virtual Machines on the appropriate datastores.<BR />6. Use snapshots and replicas for data protection to avoid deletion or corruption.<BR />7. Use HPE SimpliVity RapidDR for disaster recovery.</P><P>For more details, you may refer the below documents:</P><P><A href="https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/techpaper/performance/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-70-performance-best-practices.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/techpaper/performance/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-70-performance-best-practices.pdf</A><BR /><A href="https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/products/vsan/vmware-horizon-7-on-vmware-vsan-best-practices.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/products/vsan/vmware-horizon-7-on-vmware-vsan-best-practices.pdf</A></P><P>I hope this information is helpful.</P><P>Regards,<BR />Sanika.</P> Thu, 02 Nov 2023 12:41:17 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-simplivity/dedup-and-compression/m-p/7199931#M4425 Sanika 2023-11-02T12:41:17Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-simplivity/dedup-and-compression/m-p/7200080#M4431 <P dir="auto" style="margin: 0;">Hi,</P> <P dir="auto" style="margin: 0;">Please let me know if you have any further queries.</P> Mon, 06 Nov 2023 04:51:49 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-simplivity/dedup-and-compression/m-p/7200080#M4431 Aditya_A 2023-11-06T04:51:49Z
