IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

FMV4164W

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.
