Abstract

Storage object groups uniquely associated with respective host applications are processed to model, for each host application, the relationship between current utilized storage capacity of each host application and greatest possible utilized storage capacity of each host application without exhausting either the storage capacity of the storage system or the performance capacity of the storage system. The modeled relationships may be used to calculate headroom and performance impact scores for each host application. Storage object groups that have insufficient headroom for growth, e.g., as indicated by performance impact score, are deemed to be associated with host application workloads that are candidates for migration to a different storage system. The candidates may be ranked and selected for migration based on performance impact scores.
