Abstract
There is disclosed herein techniques for managing data storage. In one exemplary embodiment, the techniques comprise generating one or more sets of storage devices. Each set is configured to be mutually exclusive with respect to other sets of the one or more sets such that storage devices within the same set provide the basis for the formation of a RAID (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks) stripe. The techniques further comprise forming a RAID stripe from respective storage extents associated with different storage devices of the same set. The techniques further comprise mapping a storage object to the RAID stripe. The techniques further comprise servicing host I/O (Input/Output) operations directed to the storage object by using the RAID stripe mapped thereto.
