STORAGE RESOURCE USAGE ANALYSIS FOR CUSTOMIZED APPLICATION OPTIONS

摘要

Described are techniques for analyzing storage resources. I/O operations which are directed to a set of storage resources and received at a data storage system from a first application are monitored. First information characterizing the I/O operations from the first application is collected in accordance with said monitoring. Using the first information, a first execution profile for the first application characterizing I/O operations of the first application is determined. It is determined whether the first execution profile of the first application matches any of a set of predetermined execution profiles for known applications. Each of the predetermined execution profiles characterizes I/O operations of one of the known applications. First processing is performed in accordance with one or more criteria including whether the first execution profile matches any of the set of predetermined execution profiles.

主权项

1. A method of analyzing storage resources comprising:
monitoring I/O operations received at a data storage system from a first application, said I/O operations being directed to a set of one or more storage resources; collecting, in accordance with said monitoring, first information characterizing the I/O operations from the first application; determining, using the first information, a first execution profile for the first application characterizing I/O operations of the first application; determining whether the first execution profile of the first application matches any of a set of one or more predetermined execution profiles for one or more known applications, each of said one or more predetermined execution profiles characterizing I/O operations of one of the known applications; and performing first processing in accordance with one or more criteria, said one or more criteria including whether the first execution profile matches any of the set of one or more predetermined execution profiles.
