Parameter

Description
cluster The name of the cluster on which to run the command.
ignorerule Specify whether (true) or not (false) to ignore existing rules associated with the volume for offloading data. If value is:
  • true, all data in the volume is offloaded and rules associated with the volume for offload are ignored.
  • false, data is offloaded based on the rules set up for offloading data.
Default value is false.
name The name of the volume.
scanopten The parameter is used for performance optimization. true is the default value, and true indicates that the volume compaction optimizations are enabled. One of the compaction optimizations include skipping containers that do not have enough garbage. This parameter is generally not set to false, except when you wish to disable the performance optimization feature for a particular reason.
