Abstract:
A method and associated systems for a workload-aware thin-provisioning system that allocates physical storage to virtual resources from pools of physical storage volumes. The system receives constraints that limit the amount of storage that can be allocated from each pool and the total workload that can be directed to each pool. It also receives lists of previous workloads and allocations associated with each volume at specific times in the past. The system then predicts future workloads and allocation requirements for each volume by regressing linear equations derived from the received data. If the predicted values indicate that a pool will at a future time violate a received constraint, the system computes the minimum costs to move each volume of the offending pool to a less-burdened pool. It then selects the lowest-cost combination of volume and destination pool and then moves the selected volume to the selected pool.

Claim (Index 17):
The computer program product of  claim 16 , where the resolving further comprises:\n computing a set of minimized migration costs that each identifies a minimum cost incurred by moving a selected volume of the first pool to a different pool of the plurality of shared pools; and selecting the lower-cost volume and the second pool such that the lowest cost of the set of minimized migration costs is incurred by moving the lower-cost volume to the second pool.
