Abstract

A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: initiating an I/O request using a primary cache, where the I/O request includes supplemental information pertaining to an anticipated workload of the I/O request. Performance characteristics experienced by the primary cache while satisfying the I/O request are also evaluated. The supplemental information and the performance characteristics are further used to determine whether to satisfy a remainder of the I/O request using the secondary cache. In response to determining to satisfy a remainder of the I/O request using the secondary cache, the I/O request is demoted from the primary cache to the secondary cache, and a remainder of the I/O request is satisfied using the secondary cache. However, in response to determining to not satisfy a remainder of the I/O request using the secondary cache, a remainder of the I/O request is satisfied using the primary cache.
