Storage disk file subsystem and defect management systems and methods

In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention, methods and systems disclosed herein provide for storage disk file and defect management. According to an aspect, a method includes communicating, to a first computing device, an identifier associated with a storage device. The method also includes receiving, from the first computing device, maintenance information associated with the identifier. Further, the method also includes implementing a storage disk file management policy at the storage device based on the maintenance information. Maintenance or defect information may be provided, for example, for a disk subsystem comprised within a storage device. A disk subsystem with an identified potential defect, even though potential defect is latent, creates a risk to the software workloads running on the IT resource and a potential hazard in a datacenter.
