This migration process requires more user interaction, but it offers some benefits. For
example, if you migrate a volume from a tier 1 storage pool to a lower performance tier 2
storage pool. In step 1, you create the copy on the tier 2 pool, while all reads are still
performed in the tier 1 pool to the primary copy. After the synchronization, all writes are
destaged to both pools, but the reads are still only done from the primary copy. Now you can
switch the role of the copies online (step 3), and test the performance of the new pool. If you
are done testing your lower performance pool, you can ...
