Abstract
Embodiments relate to a pool of persistent storage volumes. Capacity of the volumes is managed to ensure continued operation and function of the volumes with respect to their corresponding storage pool capacity threshold(s). One or more space savings techniques are selectively performed on a copy of a selected volume. Such techniques include measurement of capacity change and measurement of workload performance change. These measurements are leveraged to produce a subset of space reduction actions for execution. A space reduction action in the form of compression or thinning takes place on-demand on a corresponding volume.
