Manual planning of storage infrastructures that are large and that utilize heterogeneous devices has become a time consuming and error prone process. This problem becomes even more complex when one is designing storage area network file system (SAN FS) based storage solutions. SAN FS systems that combine the benefits of both SAN and network attached (NAS) systems have been proposed as a mechanism for designing scalable storage infrastructures. This paper proposes a SAN FS capacity planning tool that takes application level requirements, best practices, and other types of policy input to design the necessary SAN FS logical and physical constructs.
