Abstract
Techniques for data migration of a storage system are described herein. According to one embodiment, a candidate index is generated to store information identifying a plurality of segments associated with one or more candidate files of a source storage tier to be migrated to a target storage tier of a storage system. Segments of the one or more candidate files are then migrated from the source storage tier to the target storage tier according to a sequential order, and based on the candidate index.
