Methods and systems for a networked storage environment are provided. One method includes using a storage service level (SSL) object and a protection service level (PSL) object for storing a plurality of configurable attributes by a processor. A combination of the configurable attributes define service level classes (SLCs) in a networked storage system using a plurality of resources. The SSL object and the PSL object use a same schema and naming convention for defining the plurality of configurable attributes regardless of configuration attribute type and resource type. The method also includes obtaining by the processor, attributes defining a second SLC for a storage volume assigned to a first SLC; and updating by the processor, a quality of service (QOS) policy for the storage volume for using a resource that meets attributes of the second SLC. The storage volume is assigned the resource to process requests for data.

Methods and systems for using service level objectives in a networked storage environment

Methods and systems for a networked storage environment are provided. One method includes storing a plurality of configurable attributes at a data structure by a processor, where a combination of the configurable attributes is used to define a custom service level class (SLC) in a networked storage environments using a plurality of resources for storing data; receiving a request by the processor to create the custom SLC based of a set of configurable attributes; identifying a resource of the networked storage environment that meets the requirements defined by the attributes of the custom SLC; and configuring the resource for meeting the requirements of the custom SLC.
