Abstract
When migrating data, a first message is received at a target data storage system from a source data storage system. The target data storage system includes a data storage optimizer that performs automated data movement optimizations. The first message requests a reservation of a first amount of storage on a first storage tier for performing a data migration to migrate data from the source to the target data storage system. A first capacity limit of the first storage tier is reduced by the first amount thereby representing the reservation of the first amount of storage for performing the data migration. If the first storage tier does not include an amount of available storage of at least the first amount, processing is performed to increase the amount of available storage of the first storage tier.
