Editing tier relocation for Smart volumes
There are conditions where it is useful to disable tier relocation of volumes to prevent unnecessary
data movement. For example, to preferentially perform tier relocation of volumes whose I/O activity
varies greatly, suppress tier relocation of other volumes.
Prerequisites
A Tiered Storage Manager license must be registered.
1.
Click the Mobility tab, and select Logical Groups in the navigation pane.
Logical Groups can contain both Public Logical Groups and Private Logical Groups. This operation
can also be performed by selecting Hosts from the Resources tab.
2.
Expand the tree to select the target logical group from Public Logical Groups or Private Logical
Groups.
3.
If you want to set all Smart volumes in the logical group at the same time, select Actions (in the
upper-right corner of the application area), then Edit Tier Relocation. If you want to specify the
target volumes, select one or more Smart volumes from the list of volumes, and then click the Edit
Tier Relocation button.
4.
Select Enable to enable tier relocation for Smart volumes. Select Disable to disable tier relocation.
5.
Set any required items in the window, and then execute the task.
6.
Verify that the task completed.
The applied tier location settings can be checked from Summary or the list of volumes, which are
displayed by selecting a logical group from the Mobility tab.
