Notes on performing monitoring
• You can collect a new cycle of monitoring data while performing relocation.
• After monitoring stops, the tier range is automatically calculated.
• The latest available monitoring information, collected just before the relocation is performed,
is used for relocation processing.
• When relocation is performed, the status of the monitor information must be valid (VAL).
Downloading the tier relocation log file
The Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role is required to perform this task.
You can download the log file that contains the results of past tier relocations. See “Tier relocation
log file contents” (page 94) for information about the contents of the log.
1. Use one of these methods to select Tier Relocation Log Export.
• Select Pool in the Storage Systems tree. In the Pool tab, click More Actions and select Tier
Relocation Log Export.
• From the Actions menu, select Pool management > Tier Relocation Log Export.
2. In the dialog box, specify a folder for the log file you download and click Save.
If you change the file name from the default, make sure the file name is appended with the
.tsv extension before saving the file.

exported to the tier relocation log. The time required to incorporate the latest tier relocation results
may be approximately 30 minutes. The tier relocation log file is tab-delimited and contains the
