Abstract
A method for dynamic storage object configuration in a datacenter is provided. Embodiments include determining a number of fault domains in a storage cluster that have sufficient storage capacity for creating a storage object. Embodiments include applying a dynamic fault tolerance policy to the number of fault domains that have sufficient capacity for creating the storage object in order to determine a number of host failures to tolerate for the storage object, the dynamic fault tolerance policy specifying a manner of determining, for any respective storage object, a respective number of host failures to tolerate for storing the respective storage object in a respective storage cluster based on at least a respective number of fault domains of the respective storage cluster. Embodiments include implementing the storage object on the storage cluster based on the number of host failures to tolerate for the storage object.
