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, and 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. You can
discover and register not only at the logical group level, but also at the host or Smart volume
level.
NOTE:
If you want to register by host, you can start this process by selecting 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 located
in the corner of the application pane, 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.
