Viewing data on Smart and ThP pools for P9000 disk arrays
P9000 Performance Advisor provides the current configuration and performance data for the Smart
pools and the ThP pools. Smart pools contain multiple storage tiers that can be categorized as the
upper and lower tiers. The upper tiers are created from the SSD drives and used for storing frequently
accessed data. The lower tiers can be created from the SAS or the SATA drives and used for storing
less accessed data.
To view data about the different storage tiers and the RAID group utilization for a Smart or a ThP pool
on the Pool information screen, click Pools for a P9000 disk array in the Array View left pane.
