    Hello Irsyad

    Some questions:
    • What kind of host mode options do you have enabled on the host groups?
    • What version of ESXi?
    • What version of SVOS and array are you using?
    • Do you perhaps have screenshot of before and after?

    Are you for instance using Host Mode Option 114 as described here:
    https://knowledge.hitachivantara.com/Documents/Management_Software/SVOS/9.1.x/Volume_Management_-_VSP_G130%2C_G%2F%2FF350%2C_G%2F%2FF370%2C_G%2F%2FF700%2C_G%2F%2FF900/Host_Attachment/01_Host_modes_and_host_mode_options

    Thanks,

    Sorry I'm unsure about how to help you best, without some input and screenshots.

    The potential issue you're facing is also unclear to me from the posts up to this point. Maybe work with our support personal that can take a look over your shoulder and maybe advise you better.

    Best Regards

    Hi william, I found read this if feature dedupe and compression active or enable, so ZRP can't be running or not work?right?

    Hello

    Yes if these are ADR volumes, ZPR would not affect it. Garbage collection would clear invalidated pages in time, if the cleared data is significant but this is not something you cant trigger for instance with ZPR. If you want to clear this quickly(lets say to delete all the data), you could for instance disable dedupe so that it rehydrates the data, clear's it and then re-enable it before adding more data, or just wait for garbage collection in time to do it's job.

    ADR data is potentially shared in the entire pool. This is something Garbage collection does, to ensure that the data isn't used elsewhere. If it is, it obviously wont clear the data. If it can, it would invalidate the data, and then clear it with ADR garbage collection.
