PERIODIC ROTATIONAL VIBRATION CHECK FOR STORAGE DEVICES TO COMPENSATE FOR VARYING LOADS
First Claim
1. A program product comprising a computer readable medium embodying at least one program of instructions executable by a computer to perform operations to monitor rotational vibrations, comprising:
- monitoring rotational vibration in a storage system;
analyzing system workloads; and
reconfiguring the storage system based upon the analysis of the system workloads to reduce the rotational vibration.

Abstract
A periodic rotational vibration check for storage devices to compensate for varying loads is disclosed. A variable representing rotational vibration status is maintained in a rotational vibration log. The variable is processed to determine whether a storage device exhibits a rotational vibration issue. Workload analysis is performed to identify a change to the workloads run on physically separate hardware to resolve the rotational vibration issue and thus eliminate the need for more expensive hardware.
