Compression is currently enabled, but the virtual machine backup for 'virtual-machine-name' is not compressed because client-side deduplication is not being used.

Explanation

Compression can only be used with virtual machine CTL and Data files when the files are stored in a storage pool that is enabled for client-side deduplication. This message is issued when the client is configured for compression and virtual machine CTL or Data files are directed to a storage pool that is not enabled for client-side deduplication.

System action

Backup continues, and data is not compressed.

User response

If you intend to compress virtual machine CTL and Data files, then update your Tivoli Storage Manager configuration so that both types of files are directed to storage pools that are enabled for client-side deduplication. If you intend to compress virtual machine Data files but not CTL files, then update your Tivoli Storage Manager configuration so that the Data files are directed to a storage pool that is enabled for client-side deduplication. Set the VMSKIPCTLCOMPRESSION to YES in your client options file. If you do not intend to use compression, then set COMPRESSION NO in your client options file.
