From this window, you can control the Data Relocation Rate. The default rate is set to

Medium to avoid significantly affecting host I/O.

Note: FAST VP is a completely automated tool and you can schedule relocations to occur

automatically. EMC recommends that relocations be scheduled during off-peak hours to

minimize any potential performance impact.
