• Restoring a data placement by applying a data placement profile of Smart volumes - Users can
restore a past data placement by saving data placements of optimized Smart volumes per page
as profiles, and applying them according to operation. For example, if a Smart volume is being
used for multiple operations that have different access characteristics (such as online and batch
processing), users can create data placement profiles that fit the different processes, and apply
the appropriate profile before beginning processing. By doing so, users can restore a data
placement that fits the characteristics of the target processing in advance, which prevents I/O
performance from dropping. In addition, by setting up a schedule, users can update and apply
profiles at regular intervals to suit the operation of applications. Profiles are applied only to pages
placed in Tier 1 of Smart pools.
