ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method, system, and an article of manufacture for optimizing storage utilization. Logical volumes are stored in a cache, wherein the cache is coupled to a plurality of physical devices. An optimum number of physical devices selected from the plurality of physical devices is determined. The logical volumes are transferred from the cache to the optimum number of physical devices.
