US 12,585,398 B2 · Systems, methods, and devices for partition management of storage resources based on workload

Abstract

A method of operating a storage system may include allocating a first partition of a tier of storage resources to a first client, wherein the tier operates at least partially as a storage cache, allocating a second partition of the tier of the storage resources to a second client, monitoring a workload of the first client, monitoring a workload of the second client, and reallocating the first partition of the tier of the storage resources to the first client based on the monitored workload of the first client and the monitored workload of the second client. The method may further include reallocating the second partition of the tier of the storage resources to the second client based on the monitored workload of the first client and the monitored workload of the second client.

Dependent claims

A method of partitioning a tier of storage resources, the method comprising:

determining a read working volume of a first client of the tier of storage resources and a second client of the tier of storage resources and a write working volume of the first client of the tier of storage resources and the second client of the tier of storage resources, the read working volume including a first total amount of data read, the write working volume including a second total amount of data written, the read working volume is different from the write working volume, the tier of storage resources include a hardware resource;
determining a read ratio based on the read working volume and the write working volume;
determining a workload type based on the read ratio;
and
partitioning the tier of storage resources hardware resource between the first client and the second client based on the workload type,
wherein the storage resources include a hardware resource.

A storage system, the storage system comprising:

a first tier of storage, the first tier of storage including a first storage device;
and
a partition manager:
to determine a first read working volume and a first write working volume of a first client, the first read working volume including a first total amount of data read, the first write working volume including a second total amount of data written,
to determine a second read working volume and a second write working volume of a second client, the second read working volume including a third total amount of data read, the second write working volume including a fourth total amount of data written,
to determine a first read ratio for the first client based at least in part on the first read working volume and the first write working volume of the first client,
to determine a second read ratio for the second client based at least in part on the second read working volume and the second write working volume of the second client,
to determine a first workload type of the first client based at least in part on the first read ratio, and
to determine a second workload type of the second client based at least in part on the second read ratio, and
to partition and repartition the first tier of storage between the first client and the second client based at least in part on the first workload type of the first client and the second workload type of the second client.
