TIP:
If inconsistencies are detected, a message will be displayed in Manage Data Placement Profiles dialog.
From the link shown in the message, perform the
repair inconsistencies operation and
release the profile. This can avoid unintended data to be fixed into a high-speed hardware tier by a
profile that was applied in the past.

Creating a data placement profile for Smart volumes
To restore a data replacement appropriate for application processing, the user creates a data placement
profile when Smart volumes provide sufficient performance. A profile can be created for each logical
group, and is managed with the corresponding logical group.
Prerequisites
• A Tiered Storage Manager license must be registered
• Gather the name of the target logical group
• Specify settings for checking performance information, such as settings for linking to HP XP7 Per-
formance Advisor, or settings for the performance monitoring software of each application.
TIP:
If linked to HP XP7 Performance Advisor, you can view performance trend charts for the volumes in
the logical group from the Manage Data Placement Profiles dialog box. For details on the linking
method, see the
HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Administrator Guide.
1. From the Mobility tab, General Tasks pane, select Manage Data Placement Profiles.
2. Click the Logical Group View button, and specify the necessary items. Check the performance
of the target logical group by using the performance trend charts or software for checking
performance information, and then click the Create Profile button.
3. To create a plan, specify the necessary items by following the instructions in the window.
4. If there is no problem with the plan, execute it.
5. View the list of tasks to see the execution results.
The created profile can be checked in the list of profiles displayed by clicking the Logical Group View
button in the Manage Data Placement Profiles dialog box.
TIP:
To delete data placement profiles, select the data placement profiles to be deleted, and click
Delete Profiles.
