Abstract
Methods, computer program products, and computer systems for performing dynamic storage tiering in a virtual environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method can include moving a storage object from a first storage tier of a storage system to a second storage tier of the storage system, which can be performed based, at least in part, on tiering information. Such moving can include determining a location of the storage object in the storage system by translating a location of the storage object in a virtual machine file to the location of the storage object in the storage system, using mapping information, and transmitting an instruction to a storage manager of the storage system. The instruction indicates that the storage manager should perform the moving. The mapping information translates a location in the virtual machine file to a corresponding location in the storage system.
