Note *1: The multi-tier pool is disabled when a pool is creating at CCI. And
multiple media cannot be registered as a pool volume when a pool is created.
Execute tiering after changing the multi-tier pool to the enabled status.
Note *2: When the multi-tier pool is enabled, the tiering control is set to
"Manual" automatically. To change the setting to "Auto", it is required to
execute from Storage Navigator.
Note: Before creating a pool, it is required to create a virtual volume
management area on the cache memory. The virtual volume management
area is created automatically when cache memory is added. For information
about adding cache memory, please contact Hitachi Data Systems customer
support.
Caution: The operations explained here are executable by the storage
administrator only.
