Live Volume use cases
100 Dell EMC SC Series: Synchronous Replication and Live Volume | CML1064
Applications remain continuously available on SC2 while SC1 undergoes maintenance
11.2 Storage migration for virtual machine migration
As VMware, Hyper-V, or XenServer virtual machines are migrated from data center to data center, Live
Volume can automatically migrate the related volumes to optimize performance and minimize I/O network
overhead.
Live Volume continuously monitors for changes in I/O traffic for each volume and non-disruptively moves the
primary storage to the optimal SC Series array for optimum efficiency. This involves the following:
• Migrate the virtual machine using the server virtualization software.
• Live Volume will track the changes in I/O traffic mapping and will perform a primary/secondary swap
after a fixed amount of time and data have been transferred.
Storage follows the application (server virtualization)
