If the load on a volume is too high when volume data is backed up to tape, create a copy pair
for the volume. Then do a tape backup by using the copied volume (as a secondary volume).
•
If it is not possible to assign a high-performance volume to a host because all unassigned volumes
are low performance, perform volume migration so that less frequently used data is migrated to
a low-performance volume, and then assign the now available high-performance volume to an
appropriate host.
•
If the usage frequency of an application increases, you can add an HBA and increase LUN paths
to improve data transmission performance and throughput requirements.
