Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computing system for tracking the utilization of a plurality of PLBs within a storage platform to generate PLB utilization information, wherein each PLB is associated with one or more VLBs; and tracking the utilization of the one or more VLBs associated with each of the plurality of PLBs within the storage platform to generate VLB utilization information.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method executed on a computing device comprising:
- tracking the utilization of a plurality of PLBs within a storage platform to generate PLB utilization information, wherein each PLB is associated with one or more VLBs;
- and
- tracking the utilization of the one or more VLBs associated with each of the plurality of PLBs within the storage platform to generate VLB utilization information.
A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- tracking the utilization of a plurality of PLBs within a storage platform to generate PLB utilization information, wherein each PLB is associated with one or more VLBs;
- and
- tracking the utilization of the one or more VLBs associated with each of the plurality of PLBs within the storage platform to generate VLB utilization information.
A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:
- tracking the utilization of a plurality of PLBs within a storage platform to generate PLB utilization information, wherein each PLB is associated with one or more VLBs;
- and
- tracking the utilization of the one or more VLBs associated with each of the plurality of PLBs within the storage platform to generate VLB utilization information.
