A storage virtualization selection technique “automates” a virtualization selection process to create virtual disk (vdisk) storage objects over a volume of a file system implemented by a storage operating system of a multi-protocol storage appliance. The file system provides a virtualization system that aggregates physical storage of a set of disks or portions (e.g., extents) of disks into a pool of blocks that can be dynamically allocated to form a vdisk. The file system also provides reliability guarantees for the vdisks in accordance with its underlying architecture. That is, the file system organizes its storage within volumes created among the managed disks. The vdisk is thereafter created as a storage object within a volume and, thus, inherits the underlying reliability configuration associated with that volume. The portions are aggregated and allocated as a vdisk with reliability guarantees in response to a request to create the vdisk from a user of the storage appliance and without further user involvement.

Storage virtualization systems and methods that allow customers to manage storage as a utility rather than as islands of storage which are independent of each other. A demand mapped virtual disk image of up to an arbitrarily large size is presented to a host system. The virtualization system allocates physical storage from a storage pool dynamically in response to host I / O requests, e.g., SCSI I / O requests, allowing for the amortization of storage resources through a disk subsystem while maintaining coherency amongst I / O RAID traffic. In one embodiment, the virtualization functionality is implemented in a controller device, such as a controller card residing in a switch device or other network device, coupled to a storage system on a storage area network (SAN). The resulting virtual disk image that is observed by the host computer is larger than the amount of physical storage actually consumed.
