Abstract

See full text

A dynamic approach for managing capacity in a storage environments accounting for various resource types, tiers, access paths, relationships among different storage environment components, as well as managing capacity in terms of resource planning and consumption is provided. Resource planning and consumption processes are used to allocate and reserve resources of different types and different tiers to each access path in the network. Capacity information for different resources types and tiers is automatically aggregated from different network components at different stages of a resource management cycle. The aggregated information may be used to estimate future resource needs or determine deviations between projected and actual status from which adjustments may be made to better predict future capacity needs.
