Abstract
In one embodiment, a system includes a disk cache that includes a plurality of hard disk drives (HDDs) and a controller. The controller is configured to create one or more tape-managed partitions in the disk cache, each of the one or more tape-managed partitions being configured to store data that is subject to hierarchical storage management (HSM). The controller is also configured to create a premigration queue configured to service premigration data for all of the one or more tape-managed partitions. Moreover, the controller is configured to receive a premigration delay value for a first tape-managed partition, the premigration delay value defining a time period that elapses prior to queuing the premigration data for the first tape-managed partition to the premigration queue. The premigration delay value is based on a volume creation time. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in accordance with more embodiments.
