Abstract:
Embodiments provide adaptive storage management for optimizing multi-tier data storage. A storage manager may interact with storage decision advisors. The manager may adaptively make storage management decisions (e.g., flush, evict, recall, delete) after considering recommendations from and the credibility of the storage decision advisors. The manager may update the credibility of storage decision advisors based on how their recommendations affected optimization. The manager may adaptively choose when to rebalance or reconfigure the credibility of the storage decision advisors. Storage decision advisors may themselves be adaptive. Storage decision advisors may examine credibility feedback from the storage manager to determine which recommendations were useful and which were not. Storage decision advisors may then change when they will make a recommendation, when they will abstain from making a recommendation, the type of recommendation provided, or other behavior. Optimization may concern performance, cost, power usage, or other factors.

Claim (Index 5):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage device storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computer control the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:\n accessing a data storage transaction to be serviced by a device in a plurality of storage devices arranged in a multi-tier electronic data storage system; selectively providing information about the data storage transaction to one or more members of a plurality of data movement recommenders; receiving, from a member of the plurality of data movement recommenders, a data movement recommendation; performing a data movement action for a member of the plurality of storage devices based, at least in part, on the data movement recommendation and a credibility of the member of the plurality of data movement recommenders associated with the data movement recommendation, where the credibility is based, at least in part, on a utility of a previous recommendation received from the recommender; determining an impact of the data movement action on the multi-tier electronic data storage system; storing data relating the data movement action, the impact of the data movement action, and the data movement recommendation; selectively manipulating the credibility of the member of the plurality of data movement recommenders associated with the data movement recommendation based, at least in part, on the impact of the data movement action; and selectively collectively manipulating the credibility of members of the plurality of data movement recommenders.
