Abstract
A method is used in managing data relocation in storage systems. A request is received to write to a slice of storage tier in a data storage system where the slice is being relocated. The relocation of the slice includes copying data of the slice to another slice in the data storage system. Location within the slice at which the request to write to the slice has been received is determined. Based on the determination, relocation of the slice of the storage tier is effected.
