HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software - Manual (Page 53)

• When the operations listed below are performed, users need to perform a search inconsistency
operation from the Refresh Storage Systems dialog because the profile that is actually applied to
the volume in a storage system might not match the profile information that can be referenced
from HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite.
• When the HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite database was
overwritten, due to an import or restoration, while the applied profile existed.
• When the storage system that contains an applied profile is deleted, and the storage system
is re-registered.
TIP:
If inconsistencies are detected, a message will be displayed in Manage Data Placement Profiles dialog.
From the link shown in the message, perform the
repair inconsistencies operation and
release the profile. This can avoid unintended data to be fixed into a high-speed hardware tier by a
profile that was applied in the past.
Creating a data placement profile for Smart volumes
To restore a data replacement appropriate for application processing, the user creates a data placement
profile when Smart volumes provide sufficient performance. A profile can be created for each logical
group, and is managed with the corresponding logical group.
Perform the following tasks beforehand:
• A Tiered Storage Manager license must be registered
• Acquire the name of the target logical group
• Specify settings for checking performance information, such as settings for linking to HP Storage-
Works P9000 Performance Advisor software, or settings for the performance monitoring software
of each application.
TIP:
If linked to HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor software, you can view performance trend
charts for the volumes in the logical group from the Manage Data Placement Profiles dialog box.
For details on the linking method, see the
HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software
Administrator Guide.
1. From the Mobility tab, General Tasks pane, select Manage Data Placement Profiles.
2. Click the Logical Group View button, and specify the necessary items. Check the performance
of the target logical group by using the performance trend charts or software for checking per-
formance information, and then click the Create Profile 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 see the execution results.
The created profile can be checked in the list of profiles displayed by clicking the Logical Group View
button in the Manage Data Placement Profiles dialog box.
