A computer-implemented method includes identifying a storage migration. The storage migration is associated with a storage area network. The storage migration has a storage migration rate associated therewith. The method includes identifying an input/output throughput. The input/output throughput is associated with the storage area network. The input/output throughput stores a throughput rate for the storage area network. The method includes identifying a service level agreement rate for the input/output throughput. The method includes identifying a non-essential workload. The non-essential workload stores a non-essential workload rate associated therewith. The non-essential workload includes that portion of said input/output throughput that is for one or more background processes. The method includes determining an analyzed rate based on the throughput rate, the service level agreement rate, and the non-essential workload rate. The method includes updating the storage migration rate based on the analyzed rate.

Updating storage migration rates

One or more processors determine a throughput of hardware devices operatively coupled to a target Storage Area Network (SAN) prior to a SAN migration from a source SAN to the target SAN. Buffers within a processor core in the source SAN contain intermediate execution outputs of components within the processor core. The processor(s) determine an estimated time duration required to retrieve the soft state from a central processing unit (CPU) queue in the source SAN processor and to migrate the soft state of the processor core from the source SAN to the target SAN, in order to determine an estimated size and time of the SAN migration from the source SAN to the target SAN. The processor(s) then configure transmission resources available to the source SAN to comport with the estimated size and time of the SAN migration from the source SAN to the target SAN.

Configuring transmission resources during storage area network migration

A computer-implemented method sizes a Storage Area Network (SAN) storage migration. One or more processors determine Input/output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and throughput of hardware devices operatively coupled to a target Storage Area Network (SAN) prior to a SAN migration from a source SAN to the target SAN. One or more processors determine an estimated time and size of the SAN migration based on the IOPS and the throughput of the hardware devices. One or more processors then configure transmission resources available to the source SAN to comport with the estimated time and size of the SAN migration.

Sizing SAN storage migrations

The present invention is an apparatus and method that enables a single installer to attach panels, such as drywall sheets, to overhead surfaces without the help of a second person to support the sheet against a ceiling while the installer performs the fastening. Two components are included, a fixed shelf and a movable shelf. Each component is elongated to support approximately half of the edge of the panels, so that the installer need not manipulate multiple brackets before securing the panels to the ceiling.
