Abstract
Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include receiving a request including a specified number of logical volumes, and identifying, in a storage system including multiple storage pools having storage space, respective first amounts of the storage space that are available in the multiple storage pools. Based on the specified number of logical volumes and the first amounts of the storage space, a set of volume sizes indicating second amounts of the storage space are defined, and a given volume size indicating a maximum size for the specified number of logical volumes is identified. Upon conveying the maximum size to a user, and receiving, from the user, a specified size less than or equal to the maximum size, the specified number of the volumes having the specified size can be provisioned, wherein each of the volumes is stored in a given storage pool.
