Using the XP Auto LUN Windows
XP Auto LUN can be used to balance workloads among hard disk drives and thus remove bottlenecks
from the system. XP Auto LUN can migrate volumes from the current parity group to another parity
group. Volume migrations can be performed manually (by the system administrator) or automatically
by XP Auto LUN.
In addition, XP Auto LUN can also migrate external volumes in external volume groups. However,
external volumes can be migrated manually by the system administrator, but they cannot be migrated
automatically by XP Auto LUN. For details on external volume groups and external volumes, see
the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Performance Monitor User Guide.
NOTE:
•
From an open-system host, users can also use the RAID Manager commands to perform a
manual volume migration. To perform a volume migration by using RAID Manager, XP Auto
LUN should be installed on the storage system. For details on manual volume migrations by
using RAID Manager, see
“Sample Volume Migration” (page 66) . For details on RAID Manager,
see the HP StorageWorks XP RAID Manager User Guide.
•
The XP Auto LUN windows also display the statuses of volume migrations performed by
programs other than XP Auto LUN. Volumes being operated by these other programs cannot
be operated by XP Auto LUN.
•
If the user type of your user ID is storage partition administrator, you cannot use XP Auto LUN.
For details on the limitations when using Performance Monitor, see the HP StorageWorks
XP24000/XP20000 Performance Monitor User Guide.
This section describes the options, buttons, and other components in XP Auto LUN windows.
Manual Plan Window of XP Auto LUN
When you click the XP Auto LUN button in the Performance Management window, XP Auto LUN
starts and the Manual Plan window of XP Auto LUN is displayed. The Manual Plan window lets
you create and execute manual migration plans.
For details on operations in this window, see “Migrating Volumes Manually” (page 53) .
