In one aspect, a method includes reading a configuration file to obtain settings of device drivers for a cloud computing storage array, enumerating a backend driver as the cloud computing storage array in a data storage system, instantiating a default port for the cloud computing storage array and accessing the cloud computing storage array using the data storage system.

Enabling heterogeneous storage management using storage from cloud computing platform

Example embodiments relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for creating a cascaded storage group. The method includes receiving a request to apply a data storage policy to a group of volumes; iterating through all available storage groups in a storage array to determine whether any volumes in a storage group satisfy a first condition of being both common to the group of volumes and not being associated with an existing cascaded storage group; defining a candidate list of those volumes in the storage group that satisfy the first condition; when iterating is complete, selecting as a child group to a parent cascaded storage group, volumes associated with the candidate list that satisfy a second condition; and selecting as a parent cascaded storage group, if the first and second candidate lists both satisfy the second condition, whichever of the first and second candidate lists was iterated through most recently.
