Set compression algorithm for a volume and activate inactive data compression

[najjarh]

Summary

Currently, there seems to be an inability to set the data compression algorithm for a volume. This feature is important for improving storage efficiency and performance.

Furthermore the activation of the inactive data compression has not been implemented yet.

Component Name

na_ontap_volume_efficiency; na_ontap_volume

Additional Information

Ontap commands that do the desired settings:

 ::> volume efficiency inactive-data-compression modify -vserver <…> -volume <…> -compression-algorithm zstd
 ::> volume efficiency inactive-data-compression start -vserver <…> -volume <…>

@najjarh Sorry for the delay on this. You'll want to reach out to ONTAP API team on discord (https://netapp.io/) in the ontap-api channel.

Currently as of 9.13.1 there is no REST command for compression-algorithm
