HP XP7 Storage - Manual (Page 119)

Performance monitoring and tier relocation is performed once a day
In the Monitoring Period field, set the time to start and end performance monitoring. The
default value is 00:00 to 23:59.
Set one or more hours between the starting and ending times. If you specify a starting
time that is later than the ending time, the performance monitoring continues until the
ending time on the next day.
You can view the information gathered by performance monitoring with Remote Web
Console or the RAID Manager.
When you select 0.5 Hours, 1 Hour, 2 Hours, 4 Hours, 8 Hours:
Performance monitoring is performed every hour that is selected, starting at 00:00.
You cannot set a specific time to start performance monitoring.
CAUTION: When Auto is set, all the V-VOL pages may not be completely migrated in one
cycle. In the next cycle, migration starts by updating information for the last processed V-VOL.
At that point, the collection of performance monitoring information is switched to the current
cycle.

If you perform tier relocation in a specified cycle, Period Mode is selected by default. If you
perform tier relocation weighted to the monitoring result of the past period, select Continuous
Mode
16. From the Relocation Speed option, select the page relocation speed to use when performin
relocation.
You can set the speed to: 1(Slowest), 2(Slower), 3(Standard), 4(Faster), and 5(Fastest). The
default is 3(Standard). If you want to perform tier relocation at high speed, use the 5(Fastest)
setting. If the speed specified is slower than 3(Standard), the data drive load is low when tier
relocation is performed.
