Abstract

Methods for data storage, including configuring in a data storage system a volume storage pool as data storage resources available for allocation of volumes in the data storage system are disclosed. One method includes defining a threshold value for the volume storage pool. When the allocation of the volumes causes the threshold value to be crossed, the method includes performing an action for managing the volume storage pool.
