Abstract: A method for dynamic storage object configuration in a datacenter is provided. Embodiments include determining a number of fault domains in a storage cluster that have sufficient storage capacity for creating a storage object. Embodiments include applying a dynamic fault tolerance policy to the number of fault domains that have sufficient capacity for creating the storage object in order to determine a number of host failures to tolerate for the storage object, the dynamic fault tolerance policy specifying a manner of determining, for any respective storage object, a respective number of host failures to tolerate for storing the respective storage object in a respective storage cluster based on at least a respective number of fault domains of the respective storage cluster. Embodiments include implementing the storage object on the storage cluster based on the number of host failures to tolerate for the storage object.

Abstract: An example method of providing a common volume (cVol) datastore for virtual machines (VMs) managed by a hypervisor in a virtualized computing system is described. The method includes: mounting, by the hypervisor, a network file system share of a common volume (cVol), the cVol stored in shared storage of the virtualized computing system, the network file system share storing metadata for the VMs; creating a file system for the cVol datastore backed by the network file system share; routing file operations targeting the metadata to the file system for the cVol datastore; and routing file operations targeting virtual disks of the VMs to an object storage pool of the cVol based on descriptors in the metadata that point to objects backing the virtual disks.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes mounting a shared data store, remote from a client cluster, as a remote data store on the client cluster. An abstraction interface of the remote data store on the client cluster is configured to receive data operations that are in a local data store-based format. A control path interface is established between the server cluster and the client cluster, and network location data associated with the shared data store is received by the client cluster via the established control path interface. Based on the network location data, a data path interface is established between the client cluster and the shared data store of the server cluster, whereby data operations directed to the abstraction interface of the remote data store on the client cluster are routed to the shared data store of the server cluster via the established data path interface.

Abstract: An example method of providing a common volume (cVol) datastore for virtual machines (VMs) managed by a hypervisor in a cloud computing system includes: mounting, by the hypervisor in cooperation with a network file system server, a network file system share of a common volume (cVol), the network file system share storing metadata for the VMs; creating a file system container backed by the network file system share; routing file operations targeting the metadata to the file system container; attaching cloud volumes as devices on a host of the hypervisor, the cloud volumes referenced by descriptors in the metadata; and routing file operations targeting virtual disks of the VMs to the devices.
