MANAGEMENT OF A VIRTUAL MACHINE IN A VIRTUALIZED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT BASED ON A FABRIC LIMIT
First Claim
1. A method of managing virtualization in a computing environment of the type including one or more fabrics coupling a plurality of hosts to one or more storage systems, the method comprising:
- determining a fabric limit for a limited fabric resource of a first fabric among the one or more fabrics;
determining an allocation of the limited fabric resource for the first fabric; and
controlling placement of a virtual machine on a first host among the plurality of hosts using at least one processor based at least in part upon the determined fabric limit and determined allocation of the limited fabric resource for the first fabric.

Abstract
A method manages virtual machines in a virtualized computing environment based at least in part on limitations associated with storage fabrics through which virtual machines may access one or more storage systems in such an environment. The storage fabric limitations may be used, for example, in connection with placing virtual machines on hosts in a virtualized computing environment. As another example, storage fabric limitations may be used in connection with deploying virtual machines into a virtualized computing environment to reduce the likelihood of boot errors. As still another example, storage fabric limitations may be used in connection with load balancing across multiple fabrics in a virtualized computing environment.
