  • 1.  Migrating data between pools in DS8000

    Posted Mon October 06, 2025 09:04 AM

    Dear All,

    I am looking for any documentation or guide to balance data between pools in DS8000 when there is only 2 pools ( P0 and P1) where One of the pool is getting more utilized

    P0 is utilized 85% and P1 is utilized 68%.

    What are the possible solutions?

    Dear Dhanee,

    At first, pools P0 & P1 could be of different capacity, with roughly the same stored capacity.

    Then, you could provision intended new volumes to P1, or extend provisioned volumes in P1 in the near future to balance stated utilization.


    If you still want to, you could nondisruptively move some volumes from P0 to P1, using CLI commands managefbvol or manageckdvol, respectively.

    Regards
    Ilja

    You can also use the migrate action in the GUI: Migrating data between pools - IBM Documentation
