2. Basic Functions
Optimization of Volume Configurations
The volume number (LUN) does not change before and after the migration. The host can access the volume
before, during, or after a migration without being affected by the volume number.
The following changes can be performed by RAID Migration.
Changing the volume type
•
A volume is changed to the appropriate type for the migration destination RAID groups or pools (TPP and
FTRP).
Changing the encryption attributes
•
The encryption attribute of the volume is changed according to the encryption setting of the volume or the
encryption attribute of the migration destination pool (TPP and FTRP).
•
Changing the number of concatenations and the Wide Stripe Size (for WSV)
Enabling the Deduplication/Compression function for existing volumes
•
The following processes can also be specified.
Capacity expansion
•
When migration between RAID groups is performed, capacity expansion can also be performed at the same
time. However, the capacity cannot be expanded for TPVs or FTVs.
•
TPV/FTV Capacity Optimization
When the migration destination is a pool (TPP or FTRP), TPV/FTV capacity optimization after the migration can
be set.
For details on the features of TPV/FTV capacity optimization, refer to
55).

Specify unused areas in the migration destination (RAID group or pool) with a capacity larger than the migration
source volume. Note that RAID groups that are registered as REC Disk Buffers cannot be specified as a migration
destination.
RAID Migration may not be available when other functions are being used in the ETERNUS AF or the target
volume.
