Problems solved by technology

[0006] Unfortunately, the data storage requirements of a file system can change too quickly for the operator to modify the storage configuration to match the data storage requirements while making the most efficient use of data storage device resources
Furthermore, operators may not be able to efficiently monitor and modify the storage configuration of the multiple logical volumes residing on the data processing system
Operators may also be unable to monitor and modify storage configuration during off hours and on weekends
Finally, having operators monitor and modify storage configurations is costly

Embodiment Construction

[0030] Many functional units described in this specification are labeled as modules, in order to particularly emphasize their implementation independence. For example, a module may be implemented as a hardware circuit comprising custom very large scale integration ("VLSI") circuits or gate arrays, off-the-shelf semiconductors such as logic chips, transistors, or other discrete elements. A module may also be implemented in programmable hardware devices such as field programmable gate arrays, programmable array logic, programmable logic devices or the like.

[0031] Modules may also be implemented in software for execution by various processors. An identified module of executable code may comprise one or more physical or logical blocks of computer instructions, which may be organized as an object, procedure, or function. Notwithstanding, the executables of an identified module need not be physically located together, but may include distinct instructions stored in different locat...

Abstract

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for modifying storage configuration. A monitor module monitors a storage fullness of a storage configuration. If the storage fullness exceeds a policy threshold, a modification module modifies the storage configuration. If the storage fullness does not exceed the policy threshold, an analysis module analyzes a system state and compares the system state with a trend algorithm. If the storage fullness exceeds a discretionary threshold and the system state satisfies the trend algorithm, the modification module modifies the storage configuration.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to configuring data storage, and in particular, to automatically modifying data storage configurations. Background technique [0002] Data processing systems often include multiple data processing devices, such as servers, mainframe computers, and computer workstations. Data processing equipment may use internal data storage devices, such as solid-state memory and hard disk drives, for storing data. Additionally, the data processing device may also store data using one or more external data storage devices such as hard disk drives, optical storage devices, tape drives or the like. Each data storage device can be configured with one or more physical partitions. [0003] Data storage devices may be organized as one or more logical volumes, where each logical volume may include a file system. A file system usually includes multiple logical directories, and these directories can include multiple subdirectories. Each direct...
