First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for determining a storage configuration for an application, the system comprising:
- a computer system including a processor and memory; and
one or more storage devices;
wherein the processor is operable to execute program instructions stored in the memory to;
display a graphical user interface for guiding a user through creation of the storage configuration;
receive user input to the graphical user interface, wherein the user input specifies a mapping of a plurality of data objects associated with the application to a plurality of storage resources of the one or more storage devices, wherein the mapping specifies mapping of data objects to particular ones of the storage resources; and
determine the storage configuration based on the user input received to the graphical user interface;
wherein the storage configuration specifies a storage layout on the one or more storage devices for the plurality of data objects associated with the application, wherein the storage configuration specifies distribution of the plurality of data objects among the plurality of storage resources based on the mapping.

Abstract
A system and method for determining a storage configuration for an application, where the storage configuration specifies a storage layout for data objects associated with the application. A Storage Configurator program may display a graphical user interface (GUI) for guiding the user through creation of the storage configuration. User input to specify properties of the storage configuration and/or properties of the application may be received to the graphical user interface. The Storage Configurator program may determine a storage configuration for the application, based on the user input received to the graphical user interface.

9. A method for determining a storage configuration for an application, the method comprising:
-
displaying a graphical user interface for guiding a user through creation of the storage configuration; receiving user input to the graphical user interface, wherein the user input specifies a mapping of a plurality of data objects associated with the application to a plurality of storage resources of the one or more storage devices, wherein the mapping specifies mapping of data objects to particular ones of the storage resources; and automatically determining the storage configuration based on the user input received to the graphical user interface; wherein the storage configuration specifies a storage layout for the plurality of data objects associated with the application, wherein the storage configuration specifies distribution of the plurality of data objects among the plurality of storage resources based on the mapping. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-accessible memory medium for determining a storage configuration for an application, wherein the memory medium comprises program instructions executable by a processor to:
-
display a graphical user interface for guiding a user through creation of the storage configuration; receive user input to the graphical user interface, wherein the user input specifies a mapping of a plurality of data objects associated with the application to a plurality of storage resources of the one or more storage devices, wherein the mapping specifies mapping of data objects to particular ones of the storage resources; and determine the storage configuration based on the user input received to the graphical user interface; wherein the storage configuration specifies the plurality of data objects associated with the application, wherein the storage configuration specifies distribution of the plurality of data objects among the plurality of storage resources based on the mapping. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
