Abstract

Migrating a sub-volume in data storage with at least two de-duplication domains, each of the domains having at least one sub-volume. A first sub-volume is assigned to a de-duplication domain and a first content summary is computed for the first sub-volume. Similarly, a second sub-volume is assigned to a second de-duplication domains and a second content summary is computed for the second sub-volume. A first content affinity is calculated between the first sub-volume and a third sub-volume, and a second content affinity is calculated between the second sub-volume and the third sub-volume. A domain placement is selected for the third sub-volume based on comparison of the first content affinity and the second content affinity.
