    摘要: A storage placement planning system receives a resource graph describing SAN's resources and virtual machine applications requiring a particular amount of a processing resource element and a storage resource element. The system then determines a coupled placement of the processing element and storage element for each of the applications on a coupled pair of the resource nodes based on a specified throughput and a distance factor between coupled pairs of resource nodes. The coupled placement is determined using an algorithm that implements a cost function that determines affinities between processing nodes and storage nodes for each of said applications of a particular workload. The coupled placement for each of said applications identifies the particular amount of processing resource element placed on a first node for providing a processing resource and the particular amount of storage resource element placed on a second node for providing a storage resource for that application.

    摘要: A program, method and system are disclosed for planning the placement of a collection of applications in a heterogeneous storage area network data center. The program, method, and system disclosed deal with the coupled placement of virtual machine applications within a resource graph, with each application requiring a certain amount of CPU resources and a certain amount of storage resources from the connected resource node pairs within the resource graph. The resource nodes in the graph provide either storage resources, CPU resources, or both and can have differing degrees of affinity between different node pairs. Various placement algorithms may be used to optimize placement of the applications such as an individual-greedy, pair-greedy or stable marriage algorithm. One placement objective may be to place the programs among nodes of the resource graph without exceeding the storage and CPU capacities at nodes while keeping the total cost over all applications small.

    摘要: A system efficiently and proactively assesses the impact of user's actions on a network storage system. The system generally operates on a storage area network that includes a database represented by states and policies, before the user action is executed. The system comprises a storage monitor that captures a snapshot of the database states. An impact analysis module of the system then applies a user action to the snapshot; and further selectively applies at least some of the policies to the snapshot. The impact analysis module simulates the user action on the snapshot without applying actually changes to the database, and further analyzes whether the simulated user action violates at least one applied policy. The system takes the appropriate action based on the result of the analysis.

    摘要: Server consolidation using virtual machine resource tradeoffs, is provided. One implementation involves assigning a virtual machine to a target physical server based on a plurality of virtualization parameters for maximizing utility of a plurality of virtual machines and physical servers. The assigning performs resource allocation for the virtual machine based on capabilities of the target physical server and a plurality of virtual machine resource requirements. Virtualization parameters include a reservation parameter (min) representing a minimum resources required for a VM, a limit parameter (max) representing a maximum resources allowable for the VM, and a weight parameter (shares) representing a share of spare resources for the VM.

    摘要: A program and method are disclosed for placing coupled items in a resource graph using stable marriage techniques. Each coupled item requires resources of a first resource and a second resource in a resource graph. The resource nodes in the graph provide either the first resource or the second resource or both. Coupled placement defines each item as having two elements, one representing the first resource requirement and the other representing the second resource requirement, which must be placed on a pair of connected resource nodes. The objective is to place the coupled item elements among nodes of the resource graph without exceeding the first resource capacities and second resource capacities at resource nodes while keeping the total cost over all items small. A stable marriage process guides the placement that may also employ knapsacking of multiple elements on resource nodes and a swapping analysis to further optimize placement.

    摘要: A policy-based resource management system provides an infrastructure that uses high-level definitions of data-types along with desired policy rules to manage legacy data. In particular, relevant legacy data is identified as well as the characteristics of storage devices where the legacy data resides. The storage management system determines what if any of the legacy data is stored in a manner that is non-compliant with the policy rules and corrects any violations. It generates corrective action plans, and then uses existing data migration software to migrate the data. Accordingly, the legacy data may be managed in a policy-based manner without requiring typical storage management software.
