Adapting target service times in a storage system

Abstract:

Adapting target service times in a storage system, including: in response to detecting that a measured service time for I/O requests in a storage system is failing to meet a target service time for the I/O requests, reducing an I/O capacity of the I/O requests in the storage system; determining that reducing the I/O capacity of the I/O requests to meet to the target service time causes the I/O capacity of the I/O requests to cross a threshold I/O capacity for the storage system; and in response to determining that the I/O capacity of the I/O requests has crossed the threshold I/O capacity for the storage system: determining an updated service time based on the measured service time for the I/O requests in the storage system; and updating the target service time based on the updated service time.
