Abstract

Method and system are provided for managing capacity in a storage system using copy services. The method is a computer-implemented method that predicts an imminent event due to a constrained resource and identifies one or more copy service relationship that will mitigate the imminent event. The method orchestrates a partial or full invalidation of a copy service relationship to reclaim some of the constrained resource to prevent the imminent event, including updating the copy service relationship metadata to indicate the invalidation.
