System and method for storing data in data storage unit of virtual storage area network

A server management system for storing data in a data storage unit of a Virtual Storage Area Network (VSAN), the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory, communicatively coupled to the processor, which stores processor executable instructions, which, on execution causes the processor to:
• receive a request message for storing data, from an array controller of a first node among a plurality of nodes of a Virtual Storage Area Network (VSAN) cluster, wherein each of the plurality of nodes comprises a pair of array controllers and a data storage unit;
• identify a second node from the plurality of nodes, for storing the data in a data storage unit of the second node, when the available memory in the data storage unit of the first node is less than a predefined threshold memory corresponding to the data storage unit of the first node, wherein the available memory in the data storage unit of the second node is greater than a predefined threshold memory corresponding to the data storage unit of the second node and a size of the data, and wherein the predefined threshold memory corresponding to the data storage unit of the second node is a predefined percentage of a total memory of the data storage unit of the second node;
• and
• route the data to an array controller of the second node, for storing the data in the data storage unit, for effectively utilizing the data storage units of the first node and the second node of the VSAN network, wherein routing the data to the array controller of the second node comprises:
• generating a first ID and a source address for the first node, wherein the first ID and the source address indicates source of the request message;
• generating a second ID and a destination address for the second node when the second node is identified, wherein the second ID indicates the VSAN cluster associated with the second node, the array controller used for processing the request message and a routing module used to route the data associated with the request message to the data storage unit, and wherein the destination address is generated based on the second ID;
• and
• mapping the source address of the first node with the destination address of the second node, for storing the data in the data storage unit of the second node.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of computer-executable instructions for storing data in a data storage unit of a Virtual Storage Area Network (VSAN), wherein upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors, the one or more processors perform operations comprising:

• receiving a request message for storing data, from an array controller of a first node among a plurality of nodes of a Virtual Storage Area Network (VSAN) cluster, wherein each of the plurality of nodes comprises a pair of array controllers and a data storage unit;
• identifying a second node from the plurality of nodes, for storing the data in a data storage unit of the second node, when the available memory in the data storage unit of the first node is less than a predefined threshold memory corresponding to the data storage unit of the first node, wherein the available memory in the data storage unit of the second node is greater than a predefined threshold memory corresponding to the data storage unit of the second node and a size of the data, and wherein the predefined threshold memory corresponding to the data storage unit of the second node is a predefined percentage of a total memory of the data storage unit of the second node;
• and
• routing the data to an array controller of the second node, for storing the data in the data storage unit, for effectively utilizing the data storage units of the first node and the second node of the VSAN network, wherein routing the data to the array controller of the second node comprises:
• generating a first ID and a source address for the first node, wherein the first ID and the source address indicates source of the request message;
• generating a second ID and a destination address for the second node when the second node is identified, wherein the second ID indicates the VSAN cluster associated with the second node, the array controller used for processing the request message and a routing module used to route the data associated with the request message to the data storage unit, and wherein the destination address is generated based on the second ID;
• and
• mapping the source address of the first node with the destination address of the second node, for storing the data in the data storage unit of the second node.
