Abstract
A technique for managing data storage for virtual machines in a data storage system includes receiving, from a virtual machine administrative program, a request to operate a virtual machine disk (VMD) at a different service level from one at which the data storage system is currently operating the VMD. In response to receiving the request, the data storage system migrates the VMD from a first set of storage extents providing a first service level to a second set of storage extents providing a second service level.
