HP XP Racks - Manual (Page 53)

• When the HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite database was
overwritten, due to an import or restoration, while the applied profile existed.
• When a storage system is deleted that contains an applied profile, and the storage system is
re-registered.
• In the cases above, users need to perform the search inconsistency operation from the Refresh
Storage Systems dialog to detect inconsistencies. If inconsistencies are detected, a message will
be displayed in the Manage Data Placement Profiles dialog box. From the link shown in the mes-
sage, 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.
Implementing periodic operations on data placement profiles for Smart volumes
For each application, you can set schedules for applying, releasing, and updating data placement
profiles, and can execute these operations periodically. You can set weekly or monthly schedules to
coincide with operation.
Perform the following tasks beforehand:
• Register a Tiered Storage Manager license.
• Create a data placement profile.
• Determine the name of the target logical group.
1. From the Mobility tab, select General Task, then select Manage Data Placement Profiles.
2. Click the Overall Profile View button, or Logical Group View button, then click the Schedule Profiles
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 make sure that the operation for which a schedule is set is registered as
a task.
TIP:
If multiple operation schedules are registered for a single logical group, the task list displays the
operation that will be executed first. For example, if a schedule to apply a profile is set followed
by a schedule to release the profile, then the application task is displayed until the profile is
applied. After the profile is applied, the task to release the profile is displayed.
Editing an external LDEV tiering rank for a Smart pool
Users can configure external LDEV tiering rank.
Perform the following tasks beforehand:
• Connect the external storage system.
• Define hardware tiers that consist of external volumes.
1. From the Resources tab, select Storage Systems. Expand the tree and select the target THP Pools
of the storage system.
2. Select the target Smart pools, and click the THP Pool Vols tab.
3. Select the target Smart pool volume, and click the Edit External LDEV Tier Rank button.
4. Specify the necessary items, and execute the plan.
