摘要： Described are techniques for configuring data storage. Criteria identifying limits is received for a plurality of storage tiers for one or more logical devices. The storage tiers include a first storage tier and one or more other storage tiers where the first storage tier is higher performing than the other storage tiers. First processing is performed to determine a first set of data portions of the logical devices to be stored on physical devices of the first storage tier subject to limits included in said criteria. First processing includes determining scores for data portions of the logical devices. Each score is calculated using one or more metrics including a first metric weighted based on an expected I/O size. The data portions are ranked in accordance with the scores. The first set of data portions stored in the first storage tier is selected based on the score ranking.

摘要： A write operation writes first data to a target logical address range included in a first logical address range of a virtually provisioned device. It is determined that physical storage is not allocated for the target logical address range. First processing is performed to allocate a first portion of physical storage having a first corresponding logical address subrange that includes the target logical address range. The first portion is allocated from a physical device included in a first storage tier. The first processing includes selecting the first storage tier from multiple storage tiers in accordance with selection criteria including metrics characterizing an expected workload or level of activity for the first corresponding logical address subrange of the virtually provisioned device. Mapping information is updated to indicate that the first corresponding logical address subrange of the virtually provisioned device maps to the first portion of physical storage.

摘要： A networked data storage system includes data movement logic and a virtual machine for executing a data management processing plan which is generated by a facility outside the storage array based on statistical information associated with extent level activity metrics provided by the storage array. Dynamically updated and automatically generated data management processing plans are provided to the storage array in the form of units of compiled byte code which the storage array is able to verify and execute using a virtual machine. The virtual machine interfaces with the environment in which it is embedded in a carefully constrained manner, thereby preventing clearly undesirable operations.

摘要： Described are techniques for automated compression and/or decompression of data. Idle counters are received for data portions which indicate a level of inactivity with respect to idle criteria for the data portions. Compression criteria is received specifying conditions for determining whether a data portion is a candidate for data compression. The compression criteria includes a time compression threshold indicating a minimum amount of time that a data portion has been deemed idle with respect to said idle criteria. A data portion that qualifies as a candidate for data compression has an associated idle counter indicating an inactivity level that is greater than the time compression threshold. Processing determines whether a first data portion is a candidate for data compression in accordance with the compression criteria. If the first data portion is determined as a candidate for data compression, compression processing is performed for the first data portion.
