Effects of Volume Migration on other program products

When differential data is being copied, longer copying time can be expected for the following program products:

  • ShadowImage
  • Volume Migration

The following table shows the amount of additional copy time expected for the affected program products. The increase in copy time may be as much as doubled and depends on the number of pairs set to the program product.

Capacity of Migrated Volume (MB)

Estimated delay in copying speed (in minutes)

0 - 1,000

4

1,001 - 5,000

18

5,001 - 10,000

37

10,001 - 50,000

186

50,001 - 100,000

372

100,001 - 500,000

1,860

500,001 - 1,000,000

3,720

1,000,001 - 2,150,400

9,667

The above estimates are calculated based on the assumption that the workload for update I/Os for the migrated volume is 50 IOPS for one volume.
