Abstract

Predictively selecting subset of disks of a storage system to be spun-up, including providing metadata of data entities stored in the disks of the storage system, estimating the data entity access probabilities for a prediction time window based on the metadata, each data entity access probability being indicative for the probability of access to a certain data entity within the prediction time window, calculating disk access probabilities for a prediction time window based on the estimated probability of access of data entities, each disk access probability being indicative for the probability of access to a certain disk within the prediction time window, estimating the number of disks to be spun-up in a certain prediction time window, dynamically adapting the data entity threshold value and/or the disk access threshold value, selecting a subset of disks to be spun-up in the following prediction time window.
