Abstract
Described are techniques for selecting a storage pool configuration. A set of one or more candidate storage pool configurations is determined. For each of the candidate storage pool configurations of the set, a reliability calculation is performed to determine a reliability value indicating reliability of the candidate storage pool configuration. For each of the candidate storage pool configurations of the set, an availability calculation is performed to determine an availability value indicating availability of the candidate storage pool configuration. In accordance with selection criteria, one of the candidate storage pool configurations of the set for a first storage pool is selected. The selection criteria includes the availability value and the reliability value for each of the plurality of candidate storage pool configurations.
