Abstract
A computer program product, according to one embodiment, includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se. Moreover, the program instructions readable and/or executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method which includes: maintaining a heat map monitoring table on a per volume basis for a plurality of volumes which includes a heat count for each data block in the respective volume. A request to delete a first volume is received, and the data blocks in the first volume are depended on by one or more other volumes of the plurality of volumes are identified. The identified data blocks and corresponding heat counts are copied to the respective one or more other volumes, and a list which includes the identified data blocks and corresponding heat counts are sent to a controller.
