Abstract
A clustered network storage system includes a policy based storage efficiency management framework to allow users to more efficiently manage storage efficiency attributes on a plurality of storage objects in the clustered network storage system. The storage efficiency management framework includes a policy database for storing a plurality of polices, each of which includes a plurality of attributes. Each storage object in the clustered network storage system is assigned a policy. Storage efficiency operations can then be initiated by a storage efficiency engine according to the policies assigned to the storage objects by sending a single trigger to each node in the clustered network storage system and the storage efficiency engine determining on which storage objects to perform the storage efficiency operations.
