5 Applying Filter Conditions
Tiered Storage Manager allows you to specify and apply filter conditions to help you identify and classify data
you are migrating more easily. You can specify up to 30 volume filter conditions, using various types of
attributes of volumes in a storage subsystem as condition elements.
For volume filter conditions, the condition elements that can be used in a Web client are as follows:
• Creating a storage tier in a storage domain.
Specify volume filter conditions when creating a storage tier. These become part of the definition of the
storage tier. You can change the definitions later, by changing the filter conditions.
• Selecting a migration target volume from the storage tier.
Specify volume filter conditions during a migration operation. Tiered Storage Manager selects a migration
target candidate volume that matches the filter conditions, from the storage tier.
• Viewing a list of volumes in a storage domain or storage tier.
You can view a list of volumes that match the specified filter conditions. You can check volume locations
or attributes from the list.
You can use the following condition elements from the Web client:
• Conditions where only one condition element is specified.
• Conditions where multiple condition elements are combined by AND.
• Conditions where multiple condition elements are combined by OR.
5-1-1-1-1Notes on volume filter conditions
The following are notes on volume filter conditions.
• When creating a storage tier, you cannot use the LDEV, the volume status, the host, or the volume lock
status as filter conditions.
• If you specify server.checkOutVolumeRange = false in the properties file (server.properties),
single-byte spaces and upper - and lower-case characters are used as volume filter conditions exactly as
they are entered. For details about the server.properties file, refer to the HP StorageWorks XP Tiered
Storage Manager Server Installation and Configuration Guide.

Filter by LDEV LDEV is Specify two hexadecimal numbers less than 0x100, delimited by
a colon (:). You cannot specify a blank character before or after
a colon.
To specify multiple LDEVs, delimit them by using commas (,)
or specify an LDEV range with a hyphen (-).
You cannot specify an LDEV by using a mixture of commas (,)
and hyphens (-).
If you use commas (,), you can specify a maximum of 100
LDEVs. If you use hyphens (-), you cannot specify a multiple of
LDEV ranges.
Example 1:
The following example specifies LDEV 0:0A and 0:0B.
0:0A,0:0B
Example 2:
The following example specifies LDEV 0:0A to 0:0C.
0:0A–0:0C
Filter by volume status Volume Status is Select a volume status from the drop-down list. You cannot
specify a volume in a Used status as the migration target
volume. The displayed items are:
• Used: The volume cannot be used as the migration
destination.
• Unused: The volume can be used as the migration
destination.
Filter by host name of the Host is Specify a character string up to 256 bytes in length (UTF8
