Abstract
Automigration mechanisms having fuzzy-logic based automigration control mechanisms for implementing control schemes controlling start, stop and/or bandwidth of the automigration process are provided. The automigration control mechanisms read, into a memory of an automigration controller circuit, configuration parameters characterizing the hardware and software properties of the source storage and target storage, and that of the network connection between them. The mechanisms further derive fuzzy variables from the values of the input variables and of the configuration parameters. The mechanisms further provide a predetermined fuzzy function with the fuzzy variables, where the fuzzy function reflects the exhaustion level of the source executing the fuzzy function yielding a fuzzy result value. The mechanisms apply the fuzzy result value to one of the control schemes, yielding a control result. The mechanisms control the start, stop, and/or bandwidth of the automigration of data by aid of the control result.
