Abstract
An apparatus in one embodiment comprises a storage system having at least first and second storage tiers each comprising a plurality of storage devices. The storage system implements at least one configurable data mover module adapted to interact with the first and second storage tiers and comprising at least one power management configuration file. The data mover module alters a manner in which data is moved between the first and second storage tiers based at least in part on a change in state of the power management configuration file. For example, the data mover module may be configurable via the power management configuration file in a mode of operation in which data movement from the first storage tier to the second storage tier occurs for data files utilized by a given application only after completion of a compute phase for that application.
