Claim One:
1. A method comprising: receiving, via a network, a request to determine whether to execute a planning action on a storage system; and in response to receiving the request, identifying a first storage system model and a second storage system model, generating an evaluation of the impact of the planning action on the storage system based, at least in part, on the first storage system model and the second storage system model, wherein the evaluation comprises a first indicator of an ability of the first storage system model to predict the impact of implementing the planning action on the storage system, wherein the evaluation further comprises a second indicator of an ability of the second storage system model to predict the impact of implementing the planning action on the storage system, and determining, using a processor, whether to execute the planning action based, at least in part, on determining that at least one of the first indicator or the second indicator meets a threshold requirement.
