Method, system, and program for allocating storage resources
First Claim
1. A computerized method for allocating resources, wherein the resources are capable of being configured from a computer system, comprising:
- rendering user interface elements enabling user selection of a plurality of strategies concerning allocation of computational resources, including a participation strategy having one of at least two values indicating a degree of user involvement in the allocation of computational resources and at least one configuration strategy specifying a configuration for the resource allocation;
enabling selection of a plurality of resource allocation constraints if the selected value for the participation strategy is a first value;
enabling selection of one of a plurality of configuration modes if the selected value for the participation strategy is a second value; and
allocating the resources based on the selected at least one configuration strategy and one of the selected resource allocation constraints or the selected configuration mode.

Abstract
Provided are a method, system, and program for allocating resources, wherein the resources are capable of being configured from a computer system. User interface elements are rendered enabling user selection of a plurality of strategies concerning allocation of computational resources, including a participation strategy having one of at least two values indicating a degree of user involvement in the allocation of computational resources and at least one configuration strategy specifying a configuration for the resource allocation. Selection of a plurality of resource allocation constraints is enabled if the selected value for the participation strategy is a first value. Selection of one of a plurality of configuration modes is enabled if the selected value for the participation strategy is a second value. An allocation is made of the resources based on the selected at least one configuration strategy and one of the selected resource allocation constraints or the selected configuration mode.
