Abstract

A mechanism is provided for managing inconsistencies associated with an object in a storage system. Responsive to the object already being associated with a current object group, a match percentage value is determined between characteristics associated with the object and characteristics of the current object group and, for each other object group in a set of object groups, a match percentage value is identified between characteristics of the object and characteristics of each of the other object groups. Responsive to the match percentage value between the characteristics of the object and one or more other object groups being higher than the match percentage value between the characteristics of the object and the characteristics of the current object group, a notification is sent to an administrator. Responsive to receiving an action to be implemented, the action is implemented to at least one of the object or one or more object groups.
