Migrating data to a different storage system
You can easily migrate data to a different storage system.
Before migrating:
•
A Tiered Storage Manager license must be registered
•
Set up an external connection to a P9500 Disk Array, XP24000/XP20000, XP12000/XP10000/
SVS200.
•
Create a tier in which the target mainframe volumes are grouped (only when migrating mainframe
volumes).
Information that should be obtained beforehand:
•
Migration target THP/Smart pools, tier, or migration target volumes.
1.
From the Resources, select Storage Systems.
2.
Expand the tree for the source storage system that is to be migrated, select the volumes to be
migrated from the list of external storage systems, and then click the Migrate Data button.
3.
Confirm that the correct migration source volumes are selected, and then click the Next button.
4.
Specify the migration target, THP/Smart pools, or tier and then click the Next button. When the
parity group selection rule is set, a candidate volume that is appropriate as a migration target
will be selected depending on the application that is being used or the usage rate of the parity
group. Specifically:
• Balance Capacity: System attempts to select a migration target candidate so that the remaining
capacity of the targeted parity group is equalized with other parity groups.
• Maximum Coverage: Select a candidate for the migration target from as many parity groups
as possible.
• Minimum Coverage: Select a candidate for the migration target from as few parity groups as
possible.
