Abstract
Systems and methods for facilitating performance of data tiering by detecting and persisting types of backing storage of cloud volumes that are available for use by a virtual storage system are provided. In one example, during a boot phase of the virtual storage system within a compute instance of a cloud environment, information regarding a type of backing storage for each of multiple storage devices associated with the compute instance that is not available via hypervisor APIs is obtained via an API exposed by the cloud environment. The multiple storage devices may then be initialized to facilitate subsequent use of a subset thereof in connection with performing data tiering by persisting information indicative of the type of backing storage for the storage device within a reserved header region on each storage device.
