DETERMINING AN AVAILABILITY SCORE BASED ON AVAILABLE RESOURCES OF DIFFERENT RESOURCE TYPES IN A STORAGE SYSTEM TO DETERMINE WHETHER TO PERFORM A FAILURE OPERATION FOR THE STORAGE SYSTEM

摘要

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining an availability score based on available resources of different resource types in a storage system to determine whether to perform a failure operation for the storage system. Information is maintained indicating availability of a plurality of storage system resources for a plurality of resource types. An availability score is calculated as a function of a number of available resources of the resource types. Information on the availability score is transmitted to a failure manager. The failure manager uses the transmitted availability information to determine whether to initiate a storage system failure mode for the storage system.
