• Restoring a data placement by applying a data placement profile of Smart volumes - Users can

restore a past data placement by saving data placements of optimized Smart volumes per page

as profiles, and applying them according to operation. For example, if a Smart volume is being

used for multiple operations that have different access characteristics (such as online and batch

processing), users can create data placement profiles that fit the different processes, and apply

the appropriate profile before beginning processing. By doing so, users can restore a data

placement that fits the characteristics of the target processing in advance, which prevents I/O

performance from dropping. In addition, by setting up a schedule, users can update and apply

profiles at regular intervals to suit the operation of applications. Profiles are applied only to pages

placed in Tier 1 of Smart pools.
