Table 22 Estimated delay in copy time for Auto LUN and other program products

Estimated delay in copying speed (in minutes)

Capacity of Migrated Volume (MB)

0 - 1,000

1,001 - 5,000

37

5,001 - 10,000

3,720

500,001 - 1,000,000

9,667

1,000,001 - 2,150,400

The above estimates are calculated based on the assumption that the workload for update I/Os
for the migrated volume is 50 IOPS for one volume.

Best practices

Do not perform Auto LUN operations during storage system maintenance activities (such as,
installation, replacement, removal of cache or drives, configuration changes, or replacement of
the microcode).

CAUTION:

If a volume migration operation of Auto LUN is in progress and the SVP is in Modify

mode, the Auto LUN process might not complete and the volume might remain being migrated. In
this case, make sure that the SVP is in View mode.

Before turning off the power on the storage system, confirm that all Auto LUN operations are
complete. If you turn off the power of the storage system during Auto LUN operations, and power
is later restored, Auto LUN operations resume, but there is a risk that data may be lost from the
shared memory. If this happens, Auto LUN begins recopying all data, both the differential data
not yet migrated as well as the data previously copied to the target volume before the power
interruption.
