Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for managing fault tolerance. A method includes receiving a request to establish a pool of data storage for an application of a distributed computing system. The distributed computing system includes hardware storage nodes integrated with compute nodes. The method includes receiving a target level of fault tolerance for the pool of data storage. The method includes establishing the pool of data storage by specifying, for each hardware storage node, a mirror hardware storage node for mirroring data stored on the hardware storage node so that the hardware storage node and the mirror hardware storage node do not share one or more pieces of physical equipment as specified in a physical layout of the hardware storage nodes to meet the target level of fault tolerance.
