Patent number: 10831382Abstract: An interruption of services for a multi-tier application is avoided based on a probability of a disk failure. A criticality factor value is assigned to a component of the multi-tier application. A disk failure probability value is predicted for a disk drive of a disk volume accessed by the component. If the disk failure probability value is above a predefined probability value and the assigned criticality factor value of the component is below a predefined criticality threshold value for the disk drive, the disk drive is marked to be exchanged during a next maintenance window. Alternatively, if the disk failure probability value is above the predefined probability value and the assigned criticality factor value of the component is equal to or above the predefined criticality threshold value, an immediate full copy of data of the disk drive is performed to a newly instantiated disk volume on another disk drive.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Pier F.
