Abstract

Methods and systems for monitoring quality of service (QOS) data for a plurality of storage volumes are provided. QOS data is collected for the plurality of storage volumes and includes a response time in which each of the plurality of storage volumes respond to an input/output (I/O) request. An expected range for future QOS data based on the collected QOS data is generated. The process then determines a deviation of each potential bully storage volume of a resource used by any victim storage volume, where the deviation of each bully storage volume is based on a number of current I/O requests (IOPS) that are processed by each potential bully storage volume, a forecasted value of TOPS and a predicted upper threshold TOPS value for each potential bully storage volume; and filters the potential bully storage volumes based on an impact of each potential bully storage volume.
