Abstract
The provisioning of a volume that has multiple tiers corresponding to different trait sets. The volume to be provisioned is identified along with multiple tiers that are to be in the volume. For each of the tiers that are to be provisioned within the volume, a corresponding trait set is identified as to be applied to each tier. This corresponding trait set may be based on underlying storage systems that are available at the time of provisioning, or which are anticipated to be available. The volume is then caused to be provisioned with the corresponding tiers having the corresponding trait sets. Also, the provisioning of a file, which is determined to have one or more storage traits. Based on these storage traits, the file is then caused to be assigned to an appropriate tier.
