The
replicated
system
configuration
stores
the
current
configuration
of
all
settings
for
the
Verde
array
on
a
storage
pool
present
in
the
system.
This
configuration
is
saved
each
time
you
create
a
storage
pool,
or
once
every
seven
days.
If
you
make
major
changes
to
your
Verde
array,
it
is
recommended
that
you
save
the
configuration
manually.
Use
the
instructions
in
this
section
to
manually
save
the
replicated
system
configuration.

C
OMPRESSION
The
Verde
array
can
be
configured
to
compress
data
as
it
is
written
to
the
array.
If
the
data
being
written
is
compressible
there
is
an
increase
in
write
performance
to
the
array,
which
is
dependent
on
how
much
compression
occurs
on
the
data
being
written
to
the
array.
The
data
compression
process
uses
CPU
cycles
to
perform
the
compression.
If
compression
is
enabled
and
non
‐
compressible
data
is
written
to
the
array,
the
compression
process
may
use
an
excessive
number
of
CPU
cycles,
slowing
the
overall
performance
of
the
array.
To
determine
the
current
CPU
usage
of
the
array,
