ABSTRACT:
A method for power-managing storage devices in a storage pool involves monitoring the storage pool to determine whether a storage management policy is satisfied, where the storage pool comprises a first storage device that is powered up and a second storage device that is powered down, powering up the second storage device after the storage management policy is satisfied, and making the second storage device available for use in the storage pool after the second storage device is powered up.
