Abstract

A method, system and computer product for performing storage maintenance is described. A training set for storage volume reclamation is received. The training set for storage volume reclamation contains sets of storage parameters for storage volumes and corresponding user decisions whether the storage volumes are reclaimable. The training set is used to train a machine learning system to recognize reclaimable candidate storage volumes. The trained machine learning system is used to determine that a candidate storage volume for reclamation is likely a reclaimable storage volume.
