Abstract
A technique is directed to managing a pool of slices provided by data storage equipment. The technique involves monitoring usage of the pool of slices provided by the data storage equipment, and generating an estimate based on the monitored usage of the pool of slices. The estimate identifies when a slice usage level of the pool of slices will reach a predefined usage level (e.g., the number of days remaining before the pool will become completely full, 90% full, 80% full, etc.). The technique further involves, in response to the estimate reaching a predefined threshold (e.g., when the number of days remaining is 5 days, 4 days, 3 days, etc.), performing a remedial activity to prevent full consumption of the pool of slices.
