Balancing I/O Load Across the Pool
When defining a pool, dedicate as many array groups as needed to support the I/O load of the
planned V-VOLs.
When adding capacity to an XP Thin Provisioning pool defined using firmware 60-05-0X or later,
the rebalancing function moves some existing data for V-VOLs from older pool volumes to the
newest pool volumes. The rebalance function rebalances each V-VOL's data (pages assigned)
evenly across each pool volume in the pool.
When adding capacity to the pool defined using firmware earlier than 60-05-0X, typically add
about the same amount of space as defined originally.
