Tier 1: If you make the Dynamic Tiering function available, the buffer space for new page assignment to tier 1 is displayed. If you make the Dynamic Tiering function unavailable, a hyphen (-) is displayed. Tier 2: If you make the Dynamic Tiering function available, and tier 2 exists, the buffer space for new page assignment to tier 2 is displayed. If you make the Dynamic Tiering function unavailable, or tier 2 does not exist, a hyphen (-) is displayed. Tier 3: If you make the Dynamic Tiering function available, and tier 3 exists, the buffer space for new page assignment to tier 3 is displayed. If you make the Dynamic Tiering function unavailable, or tier 3 does not exist, a hyphen (-) is displayed. |
|
Buffer Space for Tier relocation (%) |

If you make the Dynamic Tiering function unavailable, a hyphen (-) is displayed. Tier 2: If you make the Dynamic Tiering function available, and tier 2 exists, the buffer space for tier relocation to tier 2 is displayed. If you make the Dynamic Tiering function unavailable, or tier 2 does not exist, a hyphen (-) is displayed. Tier 3: If you make the Dynamic Tiering function available, and tier 3 exists, the buffer space for tier relocation to tier 3 is displayed.
