Migrating volume data in Legacy mode

You can migrate data to a different volume or THP pool by creating migration plans and executing
them as tasks.

Migration targets can be selected from a tier.

To migrate data:

1.

From the Tools menu, select Legacy Tiered Storage Manager.

2.

Select the appropriate storage system.

3.

On the Migration Groups tab, click Create MG.

If a migration group already exists, go to step 6.

4.

On the General tab, specify a name, volumes, and other information.

5.

Specify any necessary items in the Rule tab and in the Notification tab. When the parity group
selection rule is set, a candidate volume that is appropriate as a migration target will be selected
depending on the application that is being used or the usage rate of the parity group. Specifically:

• Balance Capacity: System attempts to select a migration target candidate so that the remaining

capacity of the targeted parity group is equalized with other parity groups.

• Maximum Coverage: Select a candidate for the migration target from as many parity groups

as possible.

• Minimum Coverage: Select a candidate for the migration target from as few parity groups as

possible.

6.

Select the

icon next to the source migration group.
