Systems for self-configuring health monitoring instrumentation for clustered storage platforms. Master and slave health modules implement a health monitoring system in a clustered virtualization environment comprising a plurality of nodes of the cluster with an installed health module instance running on the nodes. The health module system may gather and analyze data on a node level and at a cluster level to manage the cluster. The cluster health module system observes I/O commands issued to, and I/O command responses returned from, a common storage pool. Health data is stored in the storage pool.

Cluster-wide virtual machine health monitoring

An architecture for implementing a distributed metadata system in a virtualization environment comprising a plurality of servers, wherein each server may access and operate upon the entirety of the metadata in the virtualization environment. In response to a request received at a server to operate upon the metadata, existing metadata associated with the request is read by the server. The server performs one or more updates based upon the retrieved metadata, and attempts to update the corresponding stored metadata. In some embodiments, attempting to update the stored metadata comprises reading the metadata again and comparing it to the originally retrieved metadata, and performing the update only if the newly retrieved metadata matches the originally retrieved metadata.
