A port manager is configured to implement adaptive port ceiling assignment for background Input/Output (I/O) operations between heterogeneous storage arrays. The port manager generates a set of test I/O operations, applies the I/O operations to a port under test, determines a response time to complete the I/O operations on the port under test, and compares the response time of the current test with response times of a set of previous tests. Based on the test values, the port manager identifies a throughput inflection point for the port under test, which is used to set a maximum throughput of the port under test. The adaptive ceiling for the port under test is then set based on the maximum throughput times a ceiling percentage threshold value. The determined adaptive ceiling value is then used to prospectively limit background I/O operations on the port under test.
A method of implementing adaptive port ceiling assignment for limiting background Input/Output (I/O) operations between heterogeneous storage arrays on a port used to implement both host IO operations and the background IO operations between the heterogeneous storage arrays, comprising:
A non-transitory tangible computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program for implementing adaptive port ceiling assignment for limiting background Input/Output (I/O) operations between heterogeneous storage arrays on a port used to implement both host IO operations and the background IO operations between the heterogeneous storage arrays, the computer program including a set of instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising the steps of:
