1. A system comprising:
at least one processing device including a processor coupled to a memory;
the at least one processing device being configured to implement the following steps:
receiving a promotion request directed to a selected volume of a cluster volume, wherein the cluster volume is established between a first volume in a first array and a second volume in a second array, and the selected volume is one of the first and the second volume;
collecting a plurality of metrics that indicate respective characteristics associated with the cluster volume; and
in response to receiving the promotion request:
comparing the plurality of metrics with a database that associates multiple permutations of metrics with respective conditions for promoting the selected volume,
determining, based at least in part on the comparison, a target condition set having a permutation of metrics that matches the plurality of metrics, and
performing a promotion procedure on the selected volume upon a determination that the target condition set is satisfied.
