Abstract
A storage reclamation orchestrator is implemented to identify and recover unused storage resources on a storage system. The storage reclamation orchestrator analyses storage usage attributes of storage groups occupying storage resources of the storage system. The storage reclamation orchestrator assigns individual usage point values to each storage usage attribute of a given storage group. The individual usage point values are combined to assign a final usage point value to the storage group. Storage groups with usage point values above a threshold are candidate storage groups for recovery on the storage system. Example storage usage attributes include whether the storage group has been masked to a host device, an amount of time since IO activity has occurred on the storage group, an amount of time since local protection was implemented on the storage group, and an amount of time since remote protection was implemented on the storage group.
