Abstract
The invention addresses these and other problems associated with the prior art by providing an apparatus and program product that manage virtual machines in a virtualized computing environment based at least in part on limitations associated with storage fabrics through which virtual machines may access one or more storage systems in such an environment. The storage fabric limitations, referred to herein as fabric limits, may be used, for example, in connection with placing virtual machines on hosts in a virtualized computing environment. As another example, fabric limits may be used in connection with deploying virtual machines into a virtualized computing environment to reduce the likelihood of boot errors. As still another example, fabric limits may be used in connection with load balancing across multiple fabrics in a virtualized computing environment.
