Self-determination for in-progress volume draining

Abstract:

In an approach, a processor receives a request to vacate a first page volume of a plurality of page volumes. A processor causes data stored to the first page volume to be moved to a second page volume of the plurality of page volumes. A processor monitors paging rate between a primary storage device and the plurality of page volumes. A processor, responsive to the paging rate exceeding a first predetermined threshold, adjusts a rate of data transfer from the first page volume to the second page volume.
