Migrating compressed VOLUME to non compressed volumes

luciferHK — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:10:49 GMT

Hi ,

We are migrating data from a FAS 8200 to Metro cluster . on FAS 8200 all volumes are compressed and dedup on target system we have not enabled of storage efficiency . with vol compression we have good storage saving on the source vol .

Compressed vol after migration to a non- compressed volume , will it rehydration . ?
when compressed data is access/modified , will be stored in compressed ?

thanks
