Appendix D. Example gdeploy configuration file for configuring compression and deduplication
Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO) volumes are supported as of Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Virtualization 1.5 when enabled at deployment time. VDO cannot be enabled on existing deployments.
Deploying Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Virtualization 1.5 with a Virtual Data Optimizer volume reduces the actual disk space required for a workload, as it enables data compression and deduplication capabilities. This reduces capital and operating expenses.
The gdeployConfig.conf
file is located at /var/lib/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/gdeploy/gdeployConfig.conf
. This configuration file is applied when Enable Dedupe & Compression is checked during deployment.
