Abstract
A workload planner is used to determine headroom and SLE (Service Level Expectation) compliance of a storage system. The historical workload of the storage system over a set of monitoring intervals is obtained, and optionally a new workload to be moved to the storage system is added to the historical workload. Headroom compliance for components of the storage system, and service level expectation compliance on a per-storage group basis are determined by the workload planner. If a headroom or service level expectation violation is determined for one or more of the monitoring intervals, a set of rules are applied to selectively remove monitoring intervals from the time series. The redacted time series is then used to determine headroom and service level expectation compliance. If no violations are found, based on the redacted time series, the storage system meets headroom and SLE requirements.
