The combination of client option and server parameter values
determines whether data deduplication occurs on the client or the
server. The default data deduplication setting is server-side data
deduplication.
Procedure
To enable client-side data deduplication, complete both
of the following steps:
- Specify YES as the value of the DEDUPLICATION option
for the client.
You can set the DEDUPLICATION option
in the client options file, in the preference editor of the Tivoli® Storage
Manager client GUI,
or in the client option set on the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
Use the DEFINE CLIENTOPT command to set the DEDUPLICATION option
in a client option set. To prevent the client from overriding the
value in the client option set, specify FORCE=YES.
- Specify DEDUPLICATION=CLIENTORSERVER on
the REGISTER NODE or UPDATE NODE command.
