Suspension of relocation is the process of creating, in relation to a volume of which the Status thereof is "Reallocating" or "Waiting" in the overview of Automated Storage Tiering, a state where relocation of data within the volume is not executed.
Relocation is suspended in the following cases. Refer to "Start/Stop Relocation" in the ETERNUS SF Web Console Guide for information on how to perform the suspension.
When wanting to implement the process in relation to a subject volume (for example, backup / restoration of data within the volume)
When wanting to review the Tiering policy as the access status of the subject volume is starting to differ from original estimates
Point
When relocation is suspended, be sure to re-implement evaluation of the access status data.
Upon reimplementation of evaluation, if a volume is evaluated as a subject of relocation, such volume again becomes a volume that is subject to relocation.
