5.3.12 Balance Thin Provisioning Volume

This function relocates the physical allocating area of the Thin Provisioning Volume (TPV) to

make the physical area of TPV is allocated equally among the RAID Groups that configure the

Thin Provisioning Pool (TPP).

When multiple TPVs in the same TPP are accessed, the physical area is allocated by using the

RAID Groups of the TPP one by one in the access order. Therefore the physical area of TPVs

may be unequally allocated among the RAID Groups. This phenomenon also occurs when

expanding the capacity of a TPP. In this case, the physical area is allocated unevenly among the

newly added and existing RAID Groups. The [Balance Thin Provisioning Volume ] funct ion is to

solve the unequal allocation among RAID Groups, and balance the physical allocating area in

each RAID Group. IO load is dispersed among the RAID Groups in the TPP and access perfor-

mance may be improved.

■Conditions for a TPV to be Balanced

•The volume type is [TPV]

•The [Status] is [Available]

•The TPV capacity is 8.0TB (8,388,608MB) or less

•RAID Migration is not being performed (the target volume is not specified as a migration

source or migration destination for the existing RAID Migration)

•An Advanced Copy is not being performed (the target volume is not specified as a copy

source or copy destination for the existing Advanced Copy)

•A Remote Advanced Copy is not being performed (the target volume is not specified as a

copy source or copy destination for the existing Remote Advanced Copy)

•Balancing of a TPV is not being performed
