Storage Scalability Management

摘要

Storage scalability management is provided by adding storage in a data processing environment. A new storage subsystem is added automatically to an available storage provider only if doing so will not reduce the performance of the storage provider to an unacceptable level. If no such storage provider is available, a new storage provider is added automatically. The new storage provider is added automatically to the server and operating system that is best able to handle the additional work. Thus, a new storage subsystem is added automatically in a data processing environment in a manner that provides for system scalability while minimizing any adverse impact on system performance.
