Abstract:
Method and system for presenting storage shares in a virtual environment having a plurality of virtual machines are provided. A hierarchical data structure is maintained by a storage provider interfacing with a storage system that manages storage space for the storage shares. The data structure stores information for a storage pool based on the storage space and information for a storage volume sub-unit that is based on the storage pool. The storage provider assigns a storage share to a management console either based on the storage pool or the storage volume sub-unit. The management console then presents the storage share to a virtual machine from among the plurality of virtual machines.
