Abstract: Embodiments for volume management in a data storage environment. A network sniffing operation between virtual machines is performed to detect relationships between the virtual machines and thereby identify candidates for subsequent storage volume affiliation operations. The network sniffing operation detects the relationships based on network traffic or alternative similarity attributes of an existing placement of the virtual machines thereby deducing affiliations of storage volumes between the virtual machines such that, during the storage volume affiliation operations, the existing placement of the virtual machines is not modified. The identified candidates to be added to a new or existing storage volume affiliation operation are recommended to a user via a prompt.

A plurality of services are defined, each of the services including one or more of the capabilities for a subset of the resources, and a software defined storage (SDS) system is configured including the defined services. Upon the SDS system receiving a request to forecast an amount of the storage space including one or more of the capabilities that will be available at a specified future time, one or more of the services including the one or more capabilities are identified, and a predicted amount of the storage space for the identified one or more services is computed for specified future time. In some embodiments, a given identified given service includes one or more additional capabilities not required by the request.

Abstract: Embodiments for managing volume replication and disaster recovery in a containerized storage environment. A mapping is established between a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) having a correlated Persistent Volume (PV), and a source storage World Wide Name (WWN) and a target storage WWN. The mapping is replicated as part of a replication operation between the source storage and the target storage thereby maintaining consistency of the PV associated with one or more application containers among the source storage and the target storage.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include storing one or more data volumes to a small computer system interface storage device, and receiving a request to map a given data volume to a host computer. One or more attributes of the given data volume are identified, and using the identified one or more attributes, a unique logical unit number (LUN) for the given data volume is generated. The given data volume is mapped to the host computer via the unique LUN. In some embodiments, the generated LUN includes one of the one or more attributes. In additional embodiments, the generated LUN includes a result of a hash function using the one or more attributes. In storage virtualization environments, the data volume may include secondary logical units, and mapping the given data volume to the host may include binding the SLU to the host.

Abstract: Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include receiving a request including a specified number of logical volumes, and identifying, in a storage system including multiple storage pools having storage space, respective first amounts of the storage space that are available in the multiple storage pools. Based on the specified number of logical volumes and the first amounts of the storage space, a set of volume sizes indicating second amounts of the storage space are defined, and a given volume size indicating a maximum size for the specified number of logical volumes is identified.

Abstract: When a volume that was once associated with a consistency group and is to be deleted from the storage system, the to be deleted volume is designated as a ghost volume within the storage system, and the deletion of the ghost volume from the storage system is delayed until there are no snapshots that include a pointer to the ghost volume. The storage system may include a counter that counts the number of instances all volumes within a consistency group are pointed to or that counts the number of instances that only ghost volumes are pointed to. The storage system may reference this count to determine whether to immediately delete or delay the deletion of the volume from the storage system.
