Converting Virtual Volumes Converting virtual volumes from one type of provisioning to another allows you to balance space savings and cost. You can save storage space by converting little-used volumes to Thin volumes. Costs can be reduced by converting fully allocated volumes to Full volumes. Volumes can remain online and continue I/O operations during the conversion process. To convert a virtual volume, access the Convert Virtual Volume wizard. This wizard allows you to convert Thinly Provisioned volumes to Fully Provisioned and Fully Provisioned volumes to Thinly provisioned. The Convert Virtual Volume wizard is accessible through the In the Main Menu Bar (click Actions > Performance > Edit Chart), through the Convert button on the Toolbar when viewing the virtual volumes Summary tab, as a selection on the Toolbar under the Virtual Volume button when viewing the Virtual Volumes tab, and through the Provisioning Manager as described below: 1. In the Manager Pane, click Provisioning. 2. In the Management Tree, click Virtual Volumes under the system containing the volume(s) you wish to convert. 3. Under the Virtual Volumes tab in the Management Window, right-click on the volume you wish to convert and select Convert Virtual Volume. The Convert Virtual Volume(s) dialog box appears. Convert Virtual Volumes 1. (Required) In the General groupbox, select the System where the volume resides. 2. Select the Domain, if any, of which the volume is a member. 3. (Required) Select the Conversion: Fully provisioned to Thin or Thin to Fully provisioned. A list of all Fully or Thinly provisioned volumes, depending on the conversion you selected, will appear in the Virtual Volumes groupbox. 4. (Required) Select one or more virtual volumes from the list.) 5. (Required) In the CPG groupbox, select the Target CPG on which the conversion will be performed. (The default is the original CPG.) If you select to convert volumes that provision space from different CPGs, the system converts each volume and retains the CPG currently used for each volume. If your selection includes virtual volumes that do not currently provision space from a CPG, you must select a CPG in order to continue. The system will convert and move all selected volumes to the selected target CPG 6. Click OK to start the conversion. A task of type Convert Virtual Volume will be created. See "Displaying Tasks" (page 347) for information on tracking tasks. Converting Virtual Volumes 153

Converting Virtual Volumes

Converting virtual volumes from one type of provisioning to another allows you to balance space

savings and cost. You can save storage space by converting little-used volumes to Thin volumes.

Costs can be reduced by converting fully allocated volumes to Full volumes. Volumes can remain

online and continue I/O operations during the conversion process.

To convert a virtual volume, access the Convert Virtual Volume wizard. This wizard allows you to

convert Thinly Provisioned volumes to Fully Provisioned and Fully Provisioned volumes to Thinly

provisioned.

The Convert Virtual Volume wizard is accessible through the In the Main Menu Bar (click

Actions

Performance

Edit Chart

), through the Convert button on the Toolbar when viewing the virtual

volumes Summary tab, as a selection on the Toolbar under the Virtual Volume button when viewing

the Virtual Volumes tab, and through the Provisioning Manager as described below:

In the Manager Pane, click

Provisioning

In the Management Tree, click

Virtual Volumes

under the system containing the volume(s) you

wish to convert.

Under the Virtual Volumes tab in the Management Window, right-click on the volume you

wish to convert and select

Convert Virtual Volume

The

Convert Virtual Volume(s)

dialog box appears.

Convert Virtual Volumes

(Required) In the General groupbox, select the

System

where the volume resides.

Select the

Domain

, if any, of which the volume is a member.

(Required) Select the Conversion:

Fully provisioned to Thin

Thin to Fully provisioned

A list of all Fully or Thinly provisioned volumes, depending on the conversion you selected,

will appear in the Virtual Volumes groupbox.

(Required) Select one or more virtual volumes from the list.)

(Required) In the CPG groupbox, select the Target CPG on which the conversion will be

performed. (The default is the original CPG.)

If you select <original CPG> to convert volumes that provision space from different CPGs, the

system converts each volume and retains the CPG currently used for each volume. If your

selection includes virtual volumes that do not currently provision space from a CPG, you must

select a CPG in order to continue. The system will convert and move all selected volumes to

the selected target CPG

Click

to start the conversion.

A task of type Convert Virtual Volume will be created. See

“Displaying Tasks” (page 347)

for
