QUEUE MANAGEMENT IN STORAGE SYSTEMS

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes initiating, by a computer, a connection with a storage controller. A determination is made, by the computer, if a number of compressed volumes on a target side present in a storage system comprising the storage controller. In response to determining at least one compressed volume, a number of queues are dedicated based on the number of compressed volumes. The number of dedicated queues are sent to the storage controller. Moreover, the number of dedicated queues are created. Compressed input/outputs (I/Os) are sent through at least one of the dedicated queues to at least one of the at least one compressed volume via the storage controller.
