Abstract
A mechanism is provided for allocating data storage utilizing virtual machine resource allocation. Information pertaining to resource allocation to a set of partitions in a logically partitioned data processing system is gathered and analyzed to generate resource allocation based storage information for each partition in the set of partitions in the logically partitioned data processing system. For each partition in the set of partitions in the logically partitioned data processing system, a storage partition is generated in one or more faster storage tiers at a ratio according to the resource allocation based storage information associated with that partition. For each partition in the set of partitions in the logically partitioned data processing system, data is migrated between one or more slower storage tiers and the one or more faster storage tiers utilizing associated storage partitions in the one or more fastest storage tiers.
