Abstract
Embodiments for managing unequal workloads between Network Shared Disks (NSD) in a networked computing environment by a processor. Additional space may be carved out from at least one of a plurality of NSDs in a cluster file system, upon detecting an unbalanced load between the plurality of NSDs, while maintaining a predetermined level of usage according to a performance profile of the plurality of NSDs.
Claims20
A method, by a processor, for managing unequal workloads between Network Shared Disks (NSD) in a networked computing environment, comprising:
- upon detecting an unbalanced load between the plurality of NSDs, carving out additional space from at least one of a plurality of NSDs in a cluster file system while maintaining a predetermined level of usage of the plurality of NSDs according to a performance profile of the plurality of NSDs.
A system for managing unequal workloads between Network Shared Disks (NSD) in a computing environment, comprising:
- one or more computers with executable instructions that when executed cause the system to:
- upon detecting an unbalanced load between the plurality of NSDs, carve out additional space from at least one of a plurality of NSDs in a cluster file system while maintaining a predetermined level of usage of the plurality of NSDs according to a performance profile of the plurality of NSDs.
A computer program product for, by a processor, managing unequal workloads between Network Shared Disks (NSD) in a computing environment, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- an executable portion that, upon detecting an unbalanced load between the plurality of NSDs, carves out additional space from at least one of a plurality of NSDs in a cluster file system while maintaining a predetermined level of usage of the plurality of NSDs according to a performance profile of the plurality of NSDs.
