Automated policy based scheduling and placement of storage resources

摘要

A computer-executable method, system, and computer program product comprising providing a policy based scheduling model comprising modeled instances of objects representing resources, wherein the resources are provisioned within a heterogeneous storage environment, wherein the modeled instances of objects includes a transport zone for mapping a data storage resource within the heterogeneous storage environment to a data storage host, wherein each of the modeled instances of objects includes one or more ports to create I/O paths between the data storage resource and the data storage host, and using the policy based scheduling model to manage the provisioning of the data storage resource in the heterogeneous storage environment.

1. A computer-executable method, comprising:
querying a heterogeneous storage environment including multiple data storage devices to determine which data services are provided by the heterogeneous storage environment; providing a policy based scheduling model comprising modeled instances of objects representing resources and data services provided by the heterogeneous storage environment; wherein the resources are provisioned within the heterogeneous storage environment, wherein the heterogeneous storage includes a first type of data storage and a second type of data storage; wherein the modeled instances of objects includes a transport zone for mapping a data storage resource within the heterogeneous storage environment to a data storage host; wherein each of the modeled instances of objects includes one or more ports to create I/O paths between the data storage resource and the data storage host; wherein each of the modeled instances of objects is enabled to use the one or more ports and one or more transport zones to isolate an I/O path between the data storage resource and the data storage host to balance I/O across each of the one or more ports, wherein the isolated I/O path enables the data storage host to have an isolated fault domain; and using the policy based scheduling model to manage the provisioning of the data storage resource in the heterogeneous storage environment.
