About developing a virtualized storage environment
Virtualization of storage allows a larger than physical storage capapcity for a stand-alone host, thus
reducing equipment and operational costs as well as permiting the integration heterogenous storage
devices. The following graphic illustrates the flow for setting up a virtual storage environment.
About allocating storage
To be prepared against any possible loss of data due to equipment failure, it is important to replicate
critical data by allocating storage volumes based on logical groups. The following graphic illustrates
the flow of allocating storage resources.
About managing storage resources hierarchically
Tiers are created by grouping volumes and THP pools based on their usage, performance, and
reliability. By migrating volumes, data can be placed into appropriate tiers based on how often the
data is accessed. This allows data to be migrated collectively by groups while business is being
continued, for instance when replacing storage systems. The task flow for managing storage resources
by placing them in hierarchies is shown below.
