Abstract
A computer-executable method, system, and computer program product comprising providing a policy based scheduling model comprising modeled instances of objects representing resources, wherein the resources are provisioned within a heterogeneous storage environment, wherein the modeled instances of objects includes a transport zone for mapping a data storage resource within the heterogeneous storage environment to a data storage host, wherein each of the modeled instances of objects includes one or more ports to create I/O paths between the data storage resource and the data storage host, and using the policy based scheduling model to manage the provisioning of the data storage resource in the heterogeneous storage environment.
