Abstract

A computer-implemented method for preemptively migrating a failing extent includes receiving information of one or more failure conditions associated with an extent stored in a first storage portion of a first storage tier; predicting a failure of the extent based on the information; and selecting a second storage portion located in one of a plurality of storage tiers. The method also includes migrating the extent to the selected second storage portion. The selected second storage portion to which the extent is migrated is located in a lower storage tier. The lower storage tier includes less expensive and/or slower-to-access storage media than the first storage tier.
