Method and system for performing data protection services using a subsystem level feedback mechanism

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for managing performances of data protection services, the method comprising:

• obtaining sub system statistics from sub systems;
• in response to obtaining the subsystem statistics:
• making a determination that the subsystem statistics indicate a concurrency adjustment;
• and
• in response to the determination:
• assigning adjusted concurrencies to the subsystems based on the subsystem statistics, priorities, and priority mappings, wherein assigning the adjusted concurrencies comprises:
• assigning a first adjusted concurrency to a first subsystem of the subsystems;
• assigning an adjusted priority mapping associated with the first adjusted concurrency comprising a first adjusted percentage, a second adjusted percentage, and a third adjusted percentage of the first adjusted concurrency to high priority operations, medium priority operations, and low priority operations respectively;
• and
• in response to assigning the first adjusted concurrency to the first subsystem, assigning a second adjusted concurrency to a second subsystem of the subsystems, wherein the second subsystem depends, at least in part, on the first subsystem to perform data protection services;
• and
• initiating performance of the data protection services using the adjusted concurrency.

A system for managing performances of data protection services, the system comprising:

• persistent storage for storing subsystem statistics;
• a data protection manager, comprising a processor and memory, and configured to:
• obtain the subsystem statistics from subsystems;
• in response to obtaining the subsystem statistics:
• make a determination that the subsystem statistics indicate a concurrency adjustment;
• and
• in response to the determination:
• assign adjusted concurrencies to the subsystems based on the subsystem statistics, priorities, and priority mappings, wherein assigning the adjusted concurrencies comprises:
• assigning a first adjusted concurrency to a first subsystem of the subsystems;
• assigning an adjusted priority mapping associated with the first adjusted concurrency comprising a first adjusted percentage, a second adjusted percentage, and a third adjusted percentage of the first adjusted concurrency to high priority operations, medium priority operations, and low priority operations respectively;
• and
• in response to assigning the first adjusted concurrency to the first subsystem, assigning a second adjusted concurrency to a second subsystem of the subsystems, wherein the second subsystem depends, at least in part, on the first subsystem to perform data protection services;
• and
• initiate performance of the data protection services using the adjusted concurrency.
