Abstract

Described embodiments provide systems and methods for operating a storage system. A portion of data currently on a source Logical Unit (LUN) of a disk array of a plurality of disk arrays is written to a destination LUN of a disk array of a plurality of disk arrays. The destination LUN of a disk array of the plurality of disk arrays to write the data to is established based on an efficiency indicator associated with the destination LUN of a disk array of the plurality of disk arrays. The writing at least a portion of data currently on a source LUN of a disk array of a plurality of disk arrays may be performed as part of a replication process or as part of a relocation process.
