Auto LUN XP for the XP128/XP1024

Auto Plan Parameter section

Auto Migration Function: If you click ON, logical volumes are automatically migrated. If you click OFF,

they are not.

Sampling Term: The auto migration function analyzes resource usage within the Sampling Term and

creates auto migration plans based on that analysis. Use Sampling Term to narrow resource usage

statistics to be analyzed.

Date and Time: Specifies a date/time frequency for analyzing resource usage.

Number of Sampling Points: Click All sampling points or X highest sampling points. With X highest

sampling points, Auto LUN XP uses the Xth highest average usage rate during the sampling period to

determine disk usage. Use the list to specify the value of X.

Migration Time: Specifies the time when auto migration starts

Auto Migration Condition: Specifies the following auto migration conditions:
Max. migration duration: Time limit (10-120 minutes) for an auto migration plan. If the migration is

not completed within this limit, remaining migration operations are performed at the next scheduled

execution time.

Max. disk utilization: Disk usage limit (10-100%) during auto migration. If the most recent usage for

any source or target parity group is over this limit when auto migration starts, Auto LUN XP cancels

the auto migration plan and retries the plan at the next execution time.

Max. number of vols for migration: The maximum number of volumes (1-40) that can be migrated

during one auto migration plan.

Default button: Sets parameters to their default values and applies them to the disk array.

Set button: Applies parameters to the disk array.

Reset button: Restores parameters to the value before the change.

Close button: Closes this pane.

Setting auto migration parameters

1.

In the Auto LUN pane, click Physical.

2.

Click Plan. The Manual Migration tab appears.

3.

Click Auto Migration. The Auto Migration tab appears.

4.

In the Date and Time boxes in Sampling Term, specify a period to analyze resource usage statistics.
Ensure that the data term and auto migration execution time are separated by at least one hour. For

example, if the sampling term is from 10:00 to 14:00, auto migration should not be performed

between 09:00 and 15:00.

5.

In Number of Sampling Points, click All sampling points or X highest sampling points, and click the

value of X in the list.

6.

In Migration Time, specify when to start auto migration operations. The following scheduling restrictions

apply to Migration Time:
• Must be at least 15 minutes plus the specified maximum migration duration earlier than disk array

auto-reboot or data gathering.

• Must be at least 30 minutes later than disk array auto-reboot or data gathering.
• Must be at least 15 minutes plus the specified maximum migration duration earlier than the

specified Data Term start time.

• Must be at least 60 minutes later than the specified Data Term end time.

7.

If necessary, set the auto migration parameters as follows:
Max. migration duration: Set a time limit for auto migrations. If auto migration is not completed

within this limit, Auto LUN XP cancels operations.

Max. disk utilization: Set a disk usage limit.
Max. number of vols for migration: Specify the maximum number of volumes that can be auto

migrated at the same time.

8.

In Auto Migration Function, click ON.

9.

Click Set.
