Abstract
Example embodiments relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for creating a cascaded storage group. The method includes receiving a request to apply a data storage policy to a group of volumes; iterating through all available storage groups in a storage array to determine whether any volumes in a storage group satisfy a first condition of being both common to the group of volumes and not being associated with an existing cascaded storage group; defining a candidate list of those volumes in the storage group that satisfy the first condition; when iterating is complete, selecting as a child group to a parent cascaded storage group, volumes associated with the candidate list that satisfy a second condition; and selecting as a parent cascaded storage group, if the first and second candidate lists both satisfy the second condition, whichever of the first and second candidate lists was iterated through most recently.
