5. View the list of tasks to see the execution results.
After the monitoring and data relocation of Smart pools finish, perform the following operations
to check the effect of applying the profile, and to release the applied profile.
6. Using the software for checking the performance information, check the effects of applying the

If linked with HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor software, from the Manage Data
Placement Profiles dialog box, click the Logical Group View button to check the performance
trend chart of the target logical group.
7. To return to normal Smart pools operation, click the Release Profile button, specify the necessary
items, and then release the applied profile.
TIP:
•
When you want to apply or release the profile periodically to match the operation of an application,
you can use the Schedule Profiles button to schedule the applying and releasing of the profile.
When applying the profile, you can also specify a release schedule.
• If a data placement profile and a tiering policy are being used concurrently, the capacity ratio of
Tier 1 might exceed the value specified for the maximum allocation threshold.
Implementing periodic operations on data placement profiles for Smart volumes
For each application, you can set schedules for applying, releasing, and updating data placement
profiles, and can execute these operations periodically. You can set weekly or monthly schedules to
coincide with operation.
Perform the following tasks beforehand:
• Register a Tiered Storage Manager license.
• Create a data placement profile.
• Determine the name of the target logical group.
1. From the Mobility tab, select General Task, then select Manage Data Placement Profiles.
2. Click the Overall Profile View button, or Logical Group View button, then click the Schedule Profiles
button.
3. To create a plan, specify the necessary items by following the instructions in the window.
4. If there is no problem with the plan, execute it.
5. View the list of tasks to make sure that the operation for which a schedule is set is registered as
a task.
TIP:
If multiple operation schedules are registered for a single logical group, the task list displays the
operation that will be executed first. For example, if a schedule to apply a profile is set followed
by a schedule to release the profile, then the application task is displayed until the profile is
applied. After the profile is applied, the task to release the profile is displayed.
