Conguring Volume Advisor Movement
Recommendations
Volume Advisor can recommend moving a volume to a dierent Storage Center to improve performance and/or alleviate high storage
usage for a Storage Center. Volume Advisor is congured using threshold denitions, which generate recommendations along with
threshold alerts when error thresholds are exceeded. Volume movement recommendations are calculated based on the current capacity
and past performance of the available Storage Centers.
Threshold Denitions That Support Volume Advisor
Four types of threshold denitions can trigger an alert and a recommendation to move one or more volumes.
Supported Threshold
Denitions Threshold Alert Recommendation
Type Alert Object Type Alert
Denition
IO Usage Storage Center FE IO/Sec When front-end IO for a Storage Center exceeds the congured error threshold, the
alert recommends moving volumes to a specic Storage Center.
IO Usage Volume Latency When latency for a volume exceeds the congured error threshold, the alert
recommends moving the volume to a specic Storage Center, and gives you the
option to act on the recommendation by creating a Live Volume.
IO Usage Controller CPU Usage When CPU usage for a Storage Center controller exceeds the congured alert
threshold, the alert recommends moving volumes to a specic Storage Center.
Storage Storage Center Percent Used When the used space percentage for a Storage Center exceeds the congured alert
threshold, the alert recommends moving the volume to a specic Storage Center.
