Automatic Mode optimizes storage performance and storage economics management
automatically across drive tiers through data placement on a subvolume level in multi-tier
or hybrid extent pools.
Multi-tier
or
hybrid extent
pools are storage pools that contain a
mix of different drive tiers. Easy Tier can nondisruptively relocate data at extent level
across different drive tiers or even within the same drive tier to optimize performance and
resource usage. The auto-reba
lance capability automatically
rebalances the workload,
even across the physical resources within a drive tier, which reduces the occurrence of
hotspots.
