Managing Storage Using LVM on VDO on RHEL 8
Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO) optimizes storage resource utilization via deduplication, compression, and thin provisioning. In this hands-on lab, we will work with LVM on top of VDO, in order to enable the deduplication of data, that is largely similar or identical in nature. We'll also be working with some easy scripting options to create a handy log and to test our deduplication options. *This course is not approved or sponsored by Red Hat.*
