Abstract
Embodiments for volume management in a data storage environment. A storage pool of a plurality of storage pools is selected to provision at least one storage volume by calculating, for each of the plurality of storage pools, a forecast factor representing an expected usage according to an overall size of the at least one storage volume. The selected storage pool is the storage pool of the plurality of storage pools having a smallest forecast factor.
