So im very new to 3par, and AO.
And i am trying to wrap my head around the AO function of the product.
I have an installation with 32 450GB mLC SSDs, 40 900GB FC 10K, and 12 4TB NL.
I would like to utilize as much of the flash as possible, and have therefore created 10 thin vluns at the moment, using the default FC_r5 CPG. i have setup AO on the CPG, and told the AO configuration it should also use the SSD_r5 as tier 0, and NL_r6 as tier 3.
From what i can see of datamovement at the moment, most of the data flows down to NL, which i suppose is expected. But i would like to have more utilization of my SSDs really.
When looking at my current CPG allocation it looks something like this: 60GB on SSD, 700GB on FC and 1TB on NL.
Since i have so much Flash, i would have assumed that capacity wouldnt be "wasted" by not being utilized..
I know that AO needs to look at the data for some time to make its moves, i had just hoped more would be moved the the higher tier.
