Abstract
A method for inferring an application type, based on an operational characteristic I/O pattern of a storage volume. One or more processors determine at least one operational characteristic of each storage volume of a storage volume group associated with an application. One or more labels are assigned for each storage volume, based on the operational characteristics of each storage volume. At least one template is received that includes labels of storage volume characteristics of known application types. One or more processors infer a type of application associated with the storage volume group, based on a best-fit match of the aggregate labels of the storage volumes of the storage volume group to the labels included in the templates of storage volume characteristics of known application types.
