AUTO ALLOCATION OF STORAGE SYSTEM RESOURCES TO HETEROGENEOUS CATEGORIES OF RESOURCE CONSUMER

摘要

Techniques to automatically allocate resources among storage system resource consumers are disclosed. In various embodiments, for each of a plurality of heterogeneous categories of resource consumer of the storage system a corresponding allocated portion of storage system resources to be available for use to perform operations associated with that category of resource consumer is determined. A storage system is configured automatically to provide access to resources of the storage system based at least in part on the respective portions of storage system resources allocated to each category of resource consumer, including by ensuring availability to workloads associated with each category at any given time at least a minimum amount of storage system resources corresponding to the portion of storage system resources allocated to that category.

1. A storage system, comprising:
a processor configure to:
determine for each of a plurality of heterogeneous categories of resource consumer of the storage system a corresponding allocated portion of storage system resources to be available for use to perform operations associated with that category of resource consumer; andprovide access to resources of the storage system based at least in part on the respective portions of storage system resources allocated to each category of resource consumer, including by ensuring availability to workloads associated with each category at any given time at least a minimum amount of storage system resources corresponding to the portion of storage system resources allocated to that category; and a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store data reflecting the portion of storage system resources allocated to each category of resource consumer.
