14. Configure Smart Tiers Z with the following steps.
From the Tier Management option, select Auto or Manual.
1. The selection is usually Auto which allows performance monitoring and tier relocation to
be performed automatically.
If you select Manual, you can use the RAID Manager or Remote Web Console to manually
perform performance monitoring and tier relocation.
2. From the Cycle Time option, select the cycle for performance monitoring and tier relocation.
When you select 24 Hours (default value):
Performance monitoring and tier relocation is performed once a day
In the Monitoring Period field, set the time to start and end performance monitoring. The
default value is 00:00 to 23:59.
Set one or more hours between the starting and ending times. If you specify a starting
time that is later than the ending time, the performance monitoring continues until the
ending time on the next day.
You can view the information gathered by performance monitoring with Remote Web
Console or the RAID Manager.
When you select 0.5 Hours, 1 Hour, 2 Hours, 4 Hours, 8 Hours:
Performance monitoring is performed every hour that is selected, starting at 00:00.
You cannot set a specific time to start performance monitoring.
CAUTION: When Auto is set, all the V-VOL pages may not be completely migrated in one
cycle. In the next cycle, migration starts by updating information for the last processed V-VOL.
At that point, the collection of performance monitoring information is switched to the current
cycle.
15. From the Monitoring Mode option, select Period Mode or Continuous Mode.
If you perform tier relocation in a specified cycle or you do not need to specify the Monitoring
Mode option, select Period Mode. If you perform tier relocation weighted to the monitoring
result of the past period, select Continuous Mode
