Storage Profile

Question

Can you change a storage profile on a volume while it is online? What is the recommended way to do this?

BVienneau · Answer

Yes you can change the Storage Profile of a volume at any point in time while it's online. Any new write or a change to an existing block will take on the new write characteristics immediately. The remainder of the volume will start to change it's profile during the next Data Progression cycle. (if you want the whole thing to take on the new characteristics then you need to do a CMM, copy mirror migrate).  The only thing to be concerned about is having enough capacity of the new tier and IO ability in that tier to take on the workload.
