Custom Storage Profiles
Hi
We have just installed a new storage pool on our Compellent and are in the process of CMMing volumes from the old storage pool to the new one.
I can't work out how to create a custom storage profile for the new storage pool. If I create a custom storage profile, it is only available for volumes that are still on the old storage pool.
I don't know if it is relevant but the new storage pool is:
Tier 1 - write optimised SSD
Tier 2 - read optimised SSD
Tier 3 - HDDs
Thanks for any advice in advance.

you can always force applying new storage profile, using data progression. So, first create storage profile (in system manger -> manage storage profiles, then apply new profile to volume (right click on volume, properties -> storage tab), then force data progression by changing it's scheduler to run in few minutes (storage management -> propereties -> data progression). But, can you provide your tier configuration? i suppose that your tier1 is just raid 10 as the write-intensive tier, tier 2 is just raid 5, and so on)
