Volume set configuration using a single operational view

摘要: A method and apparatus for configuring volume sets in a distributed processing system is described. The comprises plurality of compute nodes communicatively coupled to input/output (I/O) nodes, each having storage space. the steps querying I/O determine available space at node system, displaying information representing user, accepting set name selected size smaller than largest block size. Next, scans if there substantially same as If such block, then created. no exists, performance data blocks obtained, used recommend set. In one embodiment, are so that small spaces which limited practical use minimized. user can select recommended or another, desired.
