Workload from a host or a set of hosts is directed to a set of storage volumes that are formed from storage resources that are grouped together in a storage group on a storage system. The workload on the storage group impacts many components of the storage system, including front-end ports and directors, shared global memory, back-end ports and directors, and back-end storage resources. The workload may also affect systems applications such as remote data forwarding (RDF) applications that also consume storage system resources such as RDF ports and directors and shared global memory. A workload planner characterizes workloads on the storage groups and overall workloads on components of the storage system, and contains control logic configured to resolve capacity recovery across multiple components of a storage system in connection with simulated removal of a storage group from the storage system.
A system for resolving capacity recovery across a plurality of components of a storage system in connection with simulated removal of one storage group of a set of storage groups from the storage system, comprising:
