Release Notes

14 Migrating an Oracle Database to Dell EMC SC Series Storage | CML1001
Volume attributes in DSM
3.4 Ingest data
By default, data ingestion goes to tier 1 in an SC Series array, but it might not be desirable to consume all tier
1 storage for the migration. A common practice is to direct data during ingestion to the lowest tier where
capacity is abundant. In DSM, set the storage profile to Low Priority on each volume for the duration of the
ingestion. After the migration is complete, change the storage profile to Recommended or Flash Optimized
with Progression. This will allow Data Progression to start relocating the data to different tiers or RAID levels
based on actual I/O patterns in the subsequent progression cycles.
