Reallocation Measurement - Interpretation

[rnugent2068]

I'm running reallocation measurments on a number of SQL LUNs, and have been unable to find a few definitions. If anyone can point me to a reallocate TR, that would make my day.

If not - can anyone define for me the following (to begin with, anyway...) from the Layout Measurment Log?

"min_zones/actual zones" ,   "Hot-spot VBNs" , and   -  "Hot-spot Factor"

Here are the terms in context:

Hi,

Reallocate TR doesn't exist I am afraid - but no doubt it is needed!

Probably the biggest amount of reallocation-related info in one place can be found here:
