Scheduling Volume Data Tiering

Schedule tiering for volume data.

About this task

After creating a schedule, you can associate it with the tiering-enabled volume when you create or modify the volume. If a schedule for offloading data is associated with the volume, data is offloaded automatically as scheduled based on the rules associated with the volume for offloading data.

For volumes enabled for cold tiering, you must assign a schedule to automatically offload data; if you do not assign a schedule, data is not offloaded automatically and you must manually run the offload command to offload data. See Manually Offloading Data to a Cold Tier

for details on manually offloading data.
