System options that affect performance

The following system options affect performance, which you can enable and disable:

•

Swap & Freeze. Enable this system option to suppress copy operations (the S-VOLs to remain
unchanged) during pair restoration using Quick Restore. Differential data is not copied to the
new S-VOL.

•

HOST I/O Performance. Enable this system option to suppress copy operations regardless of
the workload and to maximize I/O performance.

NOTE:

This system option increases the copy time, which slows copy operations.

•

Copy Threshold. (For BC/SS, BC Z, Compatible FlashCopy, FS, and Auto LUN) Enable this
system option to temporarily suppress copy operations when the XP7 storage system’s workload
is heavy and to maximize host I/O performance during peak periods.

NOTE:

A service representative must enable this system option.

•

Copy Pace. Enable this system option to determine the rate at which the XP7 storage system
copies data, to suppress copy processing, and to maximize host I/O performance.

Use one of the following processing-suppression/performance-improvement levels:

◦

(FC Z and FCSE only) FC Slower Copy1

◦

(FC Z and FCSE only) FC Slower Copy2

◦

Copy Pace Ext. Slower1. This is the third most effective
processing-suppression/performance-improvement level.

◦

Copy Pace Ext. Slower2. This is the second most effective
processing-suppression/performance-improvement level.

◦

Copy Pace Ext. None. This is the most effective
processing-suppression/performance-improvement level. This level stops copy processing.
