Applying a data placement profile for Smart volumes
Before beginning application processing, apply a data placement profile to restore a data placement
that fits the characteristics of the processing. After confirming that the data placement is restored and
performance is improved, release the applied profile to return to normal Smart operation.
TIP:
•
To apply or release the profile periodically to match the application operations, click
Schedule Profiles to schedule when to apply and release the profile. When you apply the profile,
you can also specify a release schedule.
•
The capacity ratio of Tier 1 might exceed the value specified for the maximum allocation threshold
if a data placement profile and a tiering policy are being used concurrently.
Prerequisites
•
A Tiered Storage Manager license must be registered

A data placement profile must be created

Specify settings for checking performance information, such as settings for linking to HP Storage-
Works P9000 Performance Advisor software, or settings for the performance monitoring software
of each application
TIP:
If linked to HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor software, you can view performance trend
charts for the volumes in the logical group from the Manage Data Placement Profiles dialog box.
