Abstract
Techniques for providing a common object model for storage systems that facilitates the performance of data mobility use cases. In the techniques, a plurality of storage system objects for a plurality of storage systems, respectively, are instantiated from a common object model, in which the respective storage system objects have unique identifiers. Further, one or more storage system objects involved in one or more data mobility use cases are determined from among the plurality of storage system objects using the unique identifiers. The determined storage system objects include capabilities of at least some of the plurality of storage systems. Based on the capabilities included in the determined storage system objects, operations of the data mobility use cases are initiated at a system level via a single user interface, thereby providing uniform management of data mobility sessions that increases the efficiency of storage administrators.
