Abstract:
Methods and systems allocate storage costs to virtual machines (“VMs”) in a virtual data center. Methods calculate a datastore-base rate based on datastore utilized-storage capacity in each LD and each LD-base rate when the datastore utilized-storage capacity and each LD-base rate are available. Datastore total cost is calculated by multiplying the datastore-base rate by the datastore utilized-storage capacity. Methods also use graph based methods to calculate datastore-base rates when the datastore utilized-storage capacity is unknown for each LD. The datastore-base rate associated with each datastore may then be used to calculate a VM storage cost of each VM hosted by a datastore.
