Working with disk compression
This topic describes how to start and stop disk compression. It also discusses various considerations for using disk compression.
- Introduction to disk compression
Disk compression is a technology that increases the apparent capacity of disk storage devices by encoding the data to take up less physical storage space on disk. - SRC code A6xx 0277
When you see the A6xx 0277 SRC code in the control panel on the system or logical partition, select the appropriate compression reference code word for additional information. - Starting disk compression
You can start disk compression from the Dedicated Service Tools (DST) menu. - Stopping disk compression
Use this procedure to stop disk compression by using the dedicated service tools (DST). - Procedural sequences for configuring disks and protection
Each respective configuration change requires you to perform procedures in a specific order. You can find a list, showing the order that you should use when performing the procedures. - Recovering from error codes
You might encounter system reference code (SRC) when working with disk compression.
