  •   Confirm the available space on each volume using the command “df –g <volname>” 
  •   Confirm the dedupe savings on each volume using the command “df –s <volname>” and/or “sis status /vol/<volname>”.

  •  Monitor processor utilization with the command “sis status /vol/<volname>.
  •  Repeat for additional volumes.
  •  Confirm that dedupe has been removed by comparing the output of df –g before and after the undedupe process.
