Zusammenfassung:Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for an application to provide data attributes to a storage manager to use to select a storage tier to use for a data set management operation. Each storage tier has storage devices with different storage attributes. The storage manager receives information on data attributes for one of the data sets for which a data set management operation is to be performed for an application, wherein the data attributes are based on the application intended usage of the data set and receives a data set management command to perform the data set management operation. The storage manager selects one of the storage tiers having storage attributes that map to the data attributes and performs the data set management operation with respect to the selected storage tier.
