SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REPLICATING DATA OBJECTS WITHIN A STORAGE NETWORK BASED ON RESOURCE ATTRIBUTES
First Claim
1. A method of replicating data within a storage network, the method comprising:
- detecting a data object to be replicated;
detecting a policy framework specifying a quantity of resources on which the data object is to be replicated and an attribute associated with the resources;
determining candidate resources of the storage network that match the attribute of the policy framework; and
determining a replication policy for the data object based on the candidate resources.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for replicating data from a primary resource to a secondary resource within a storage network based on resource attributes. In particular, a user can specify a policy framework comprising one or more count selections and one or more attributes. A policy generation module can determine candidate resources that match the policy framework, and order the candidate resources based on one or more factors. The policy generation module can generate a replication policy based on the ordered resources and replicate the data according to the replication policy.

11. A system for replicating data within a storage network, the system comprising:
-
an interface to a set of resources; and a processor, communicating with the set of resources via the interface, the processor being configured to; detect a data object to be replicated; detect a policy framework specifying a quantity of the set of resources on which the data object is to be replicated and an attribute associated with the set of resources; determine candidate resources of the storage network that match the attribute of the policy framework; and determine a replication policy for the data object based on the candidate resources. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
