Abstract

Described are techniques for managing a data storage system. First energy information for each of one or more enclosures of the data storage system is determined. Second energy information for the data storage system based on information including the first energy information for the one or more enclosures is determined. It is determined whether any of the first energy information for each of the one or more enclosures and the second energy information for the data storage system are within a predetermined amount of one or more associated thresholds. If it is determined that any of the first energy information for each of the one or more enclosures and the second energy information for the data storage system are within a predetermined amount of one or more associated thresholds, one or more actions are taken prior to reaching the one or more associated thresholds.
