Abstract
A method and system for allocating storage in a data storage system using one or more storage profiles. A set of storage profiles are provided that each has a set of parameters with values defined for the data storage system and for particular client applications. The method includes receiving a selection of one of the storage profiles, such as from an administrative user interface generated by a storage manager running in conjunction with the data storage system. The selected storage profile is then applied to the data storage system to allocate a portion of the data storage system to a storage pool which is defined by the values of the set of parameters in the selected storage profile. The method includes creating a user-defined storage profile by copying parameters from one of the provided storage profiles and allowing a user to modify or accept the parameters.
