  • Patent number: 11487606
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for automated alert augmentation for deployments of software-defined storage are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes obtaining an alert from at least one software-defined storage device; determining one or more items of additional information pertaining to one or more of the alert and the at least one software-defined storage device; augmenting the alert based at least in part on the one or more determined items of additional information; generating a modified version of the augmented alert by incorporating, into the augmented alert, dependency information pertaining to the at least one software-defined storage device and one or more additional software-defined storage devices; and performing one or more automated actions based at least in part on the modified version of the augmented alert.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11269615
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for automatically orchestrating deployments of software-defined storage stacks are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes obtaining a software-defined storage deployment request from at least one user; determining a request type associated with the software-defined storage deployment request by processing at least a portion of payload content of the software-defined storage deployment request; orchestrating one or more tasks required for carrying out the requested software-defined storage deployment based at least in part on the determined request type and the processed payload content; and performing at least one automated action based at least in part on the one or more orchestrated tasks.

  • Publication number: 20210342077
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for automated resource selection for software-defined storage deployment are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes obtaining a software-defined storage deployment request from a user, the request comprising an amount of total storage capacity and a minimum number of servers; generating an in-memory data structure of at least a portion of an inventory associated with the user, wherein the inventory comprises servers and disks associated with the servers, and wherein the data structure organizes the inventory based on disk size and disk count per server; calculating, using at least the data structure, total storage capacity for each of multiple combinations of disk sizes and disk counts across the servers; determining at least one of the combinations, based on the total storage calculations, that satisfies the request; and performing at least one automated action based on the combination(s) determined to satisfy the request.
