Abstract
Embodiments include methods for operating a first storage system having a first number of data storage drives for enabling access to a first set of removable media. Aspects include providing a second storage system having a number K of data storage drives for enabling access to a second set of removable media and providing a set of parameters describing operational characteristics of the second storage system. Aspects also include determining an analytical model using the set of parameters, the analytical model describing the variation of average waiting time as a function of system load over a predefined range covering multiple system load regime domains and determining values of the set of parameters using the analytical model and data of the second storage system. Aspects further include using the analytical model and the values of the set of parameters for reconfiguring the first storage system.
