While the transfers were running the network IO and (for some time) the disk IO on the two HPSS movers were recorded.
The HPSS instance has two disk arrays that are accessed by both movers and show up as devices sdc and sdd.

The disk IO was not monitored during the first 7:30 hours therefore no data are shown for this time in the disk IO plots.
