Abstract:
1. A method, in a data processing system, for volume placement across remote replication relationships, the method comprising: responsive to applying volume placement optimization to a source storage pool having at least one volume with a replication target in a target storage pool, determining whether the source storage pool and the target storage pool have identical storage volume membership; responsive to determining the source storage pool and the target storage pool not having the same storage volume membership, generating workload performance data for each non-shared storage volume in the target storage pool that does not have a corresponding member of the source storage pool; generating a hardware profile for hardware of the target storage pool; and generating a volume placement optimization for the storage volumes in the target storage pool based on the workload performance data for each non-shared storage volume in the target storage pool and the hardware profile for the hardware of the target storage pool.
