Migrating resources to and from a CLPR

After creating a CLPR, you can migrate resources (parity groups) from existing CLPRs to the new CLPR.
Before deleting a CLPR, you must first migrate resources that you want to keep to other CLPRs.

CAUTION:

Migrating resources to and from CLPRs can significantly degrade host performance and should be
performed during the initial installation and setup of the storage system or during a maintenance
window.

When migrating resources to and from CLPRs:

You can migrate resources only within the same CU

All interleaved parity groups must be in the same CLPR

If a parity group contains one or more LDEVs that have defined Cache Residency Manager extents,
you cannot migrate that parity group to another CLPR.

1.

On the Resources tab, expand the Storage Systems tree, and select the target storage system.

2.

Choose one of the following options.

• For HP XP7 storage systems:

Select Cache Partitions.

• For other available storage systems:

From the Actions list in the application pane, select Element Manager. Refer to the document-
ation for the native management tool for your storage system.

3.

In CLPR on the Migrate CLPR Resources window, select the CLPR number to which the resource
is assigned.
