Dynamic resource allocation based on data transferring to a tiered storage

A system for managing resources in a computing system, the system comprising:

• a tiered storage system comprising a plurality of storage tiers;
• and
• a computer communicatively coupled to the tiered storage system,
• wherein the tiered storage system is configured to:
• communicate data locality information associated with the tiered storage system locating a set of data in a first tier among the plurality of storage tiers;
• receive, in response to communicating the data locality information, a data locality directive comprising information to discontinue locating the set of data in the first tier and to starting locating the set of data in a second tier among the plurality of storage tiers, wherein the data locality directive is associated with a program operating in the computer, wherein the program has accessed the set of data in the tiered storage system, and wherein the data locality directive is based, at least in part, on an amount of a resource of the computer to allocate to the program;
• adjust, based on the data locality information, the amount of the resource of the computer allocated to the program;
• and
• execute a particular number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) in relation to the adjusted amount of the resource allocated to the program.

A computer program product for managing resources in a computing system, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by at least one processor to perform a method comprising:

• communicating, by the at least one processor, data locality information, wherein the data locality information is associated with the tiered storage system locating a set of data in a first tier among the plurality of storage tiers;
• receiving, by the at least one processor, in response to the communicating the data locality information, a data locality directive comprising information to discontinue locating the set of data in the first tier and to start locating the set of data in a second tier among the plurality of storage tiers, wherein the data locality directive is associated with a program operating in a computer communicatively coupled to the tiered storage system, wherein the program has accessed the set of data in the tiered storage system, and wherein the data locality directive is based, at least in part, on an amount of a resource of the computer to allocate to the program;
• adjusting, based on the data locality information, the amount of the resource of the computer allocated to the program;
• and
• executing a particular number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) in relation to the adjusted amount of the resource allocated to the program.
