30 Analyzing Dell PS Series Storage with SAN Headquarters | TR1050
3.1.1.4 Conclusions for Example 1 – Over utilized pool
This default pool is over utilized based on the latency, observations from the Experimental Analysis and the fact that
the IOPS/Disk value exceeds the rule of thumb threshold. From these observations, it can be concluded that the
capabilities of these drives have been exceeded.
Two options can be explored for correcting the situation:
• Move volumes to the unused FASTPOOLXV
• Merge pools
3.1.2 Example 1: Analysis of volumes to move
Since the example has one unused pool (FASTPOOLXV). One method to correct the over utilized pool is to move
volumes from the default pool to FASTPOOLXV. To determine the best candidates for moving, first view all the volumes
in the I/O panel by selecting Group in the menu, then Pool > default > all volumes in pool default. Sort the default
pool IOPS in descending order. For this example, the four volumes at the top will be moved to the FASTPOOL15K
