Abstract
A storage node uses storage descriptors for provisioning, monitoring and reporting. The storage descriptors indicate available storage resource capabilities and storage resource requirements for particular applications or types of applications using a common set of metrics. The storage node scales requirements to approximate a particular deployment scenario and then compares available capabilities and requirements as indicated by the storage descriptors.
