Systems and methods for handling of modeling errors during planning

A resource manager comprising:

• one or more processors,
• a monitoring engine, running on the one or more processors, to monitor performance characteristics of a storage system;
• an analysis engine, running on the processor, to receive a request to evaluate multiple planning actions and generate predicted responses of the storage system to the multiple planning actions and associated indications of reliability, wherein the predicted responses and the associated indications of reliability are generated using multiple models of the storage system and the performance characteristics determined by the monitoring engine;
• and
• a planning engine, running on the one or more processors, to receive the predicted responses of the storage system to the multiple planning actions and the associated indications of reliability and to determine whether to implement at least one of the multiple planning actions based on the predicted responses of the storage system and the associated indications of reliability of the predicted responses.

A method comprising:

• requesting, from an analysis engine, data representing a first prediction of a first impact on a storage system of a first planning action and a second prediction of a second impact on the storage system of a second planning action on the storage system;
• receiving the data representing the first prediction of the first impact of the first planning action and the second prediction of the second impact of the second planning action, wherein the data includes a first model error of the first planning action and a second model error of the second planning action;
• generating, using a processor, a first adjusted evaluation value based on the first model error and a second adjusted evaluation value based on the second model error;
• and
• determining, based on the first adjusted evaluation value and the second adjusted evaluation value, whether to implement the first planning action or the second planning action.
