Abstract
A periodic rotational vibration check for storage devices to compensate for varying loads is disclosed. A variable representing rotational vibration status is maintained in a rotational vibration log. The variable is processed to determine whether a storage device exhibits a rotational vibration issue. Workload analysis is performed to identify a change to the workloads run on physically separate hardware to resolve the rotational vibration issue and thus eliminate the need for more expensive hardware.

1-23. (canceled)
A method for providing a periodic rotational vibration check for storage devices to compensate for varying loads, comprising:
- accessing, by a service provider, a rotational vibration log associated with at least one storage device in a storage system;
- and
- analyzing the rotational vibration log to resolve a rotational vibration problem indicated by the rotational vibration log.
A method for providing a periodic rotational vibration check for storage devices to compensate for varying loads, comprising:
- maintaining rotational vibration data associated with at least one storage device of a storage system in a rotational vibration log;
- and
- using the rotational vibration data to correct a rotational vibration issue.
A method, comprising:
- monitoring by a processor, rotational vibration in a storage system;
- analyzing by a processor, system workloads;
- and
- reconfiguring by a processor, the storage system based upon the analysis of the system workloads to reduce the rotational vibration.
