About storage tier IDs
The storage-tier identifier is displayed to the host as part of the virtual volumes’s product ID.
Use the storage-tier identifier to logically group storage.
For example, assign Symmetrix arrays as tier 1 storage, and CLARiiON as tier 2 storage.
Use the ll command in a specific virtual volume’s context to display the current storage-tier.
Use the set command to modify a virtual volume’s storage-tier.
Examples
In the following example:
● The virtual-volume create command creates a new virtual volume,
● The cd command navigates to the new virtual volume’s context,
● The ll command displays the new virtual volume:
VPlexcli:/> virtual-volume create --device /distributed-storage/distributed-devices/
r0_C1_VATS_00001_vol
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/virtual-volumes> cd r0_C1_VATS_00001_vol
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/virtual-volumes/r0_C1_VATS_00001_vol> ll
