Specify the migration target, THP/Smart pools, or tier and then click the Next button. 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.

Confirm that all migration source volumes and target volumes or THP/Smart pools are paired
properly, confirm that no other problems exist, and then click the Next button. If necessary,
change the pairs. To change a pair, first select the volume pair, then from the Other Candidates
for Migration Target list, select the target volume to change to, and then click the Map Volume
button.

Specify plan options as necessary and then execute the task.

In the tasks list, confirm the execution result of the task. After a task is created, you must not
perform operations on volumes included in the task by using HP StorageWorks P9000 Command
View Advanced Edition Suite or other programs until the task has finished executing.

Migrate data dialog box

Data migration provides the capability for moving data from a source set of volumes to a destination
set of volumes or THP/Smart pools, including those in externally-connected storage systems.

The Migrate data dialog box is a wizard that guides you in configuring the task for migrating selected
data from a source location to a destination target.

For example, when you select a specific host, storage system, pool type, and click Apply, the
corresponding volume information is displayed in the list of selected volumes because this information
is already known and is non-configurable. To create a data migration task, you must complete a
four-step configuration process using the migrate data wizard.

When you enter the minimum required information in a dialog box, review the Plan Summary, and
click Submit to complete the configuration of this migration task. Click the Back button to modify the
plan to meet your requirements.

The following table describes the dialog box fields, subfields, and field groups. A field group is a
collection of fields that are related to a specific action or configuration. You can minimize and expand
field groups by clicking the double arrow symbol (>>).
