Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computing system for generating a logical network for a virtual storage appliance deployed in a cloud computing environment. The logical network may be associated with a cloud subnet network interface within the cloud computing environment. One or more logical network addresses may be allocated from the cloud subnet network interface within the cloud computing environment to the virtual storage appliance.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device, comprising:
- generating a logical network for a virtual storage appliance deployed in a cloud computing environment, wherein the virtual storage appliance includes a set of virtual machines deployed in the cloud computing environment with a plurality of storage devices, an operating system, and an application stored therein, wherein generating the logical network for the virtual storage appliance includes generating a plurality of logical networks for the virtual storage appliance;
- associating the logical network with a cloud subnet network interface within the cloud computing environment, wherein associating the logical network with the cloud subnet network interface includes associating each logical network of the plurality of logical networks with a separate cloud subnet network interface within the cloud computing environment;
- and
- allocating one or more logical network addresses from the cloud subnet network interface within the cloud computing environment to the virtual storage appliance.
A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- generating a logical network for a virtual storage appliance deployed in a cloud computing environment, wherein the virtual storage appliance includes a set of virtual machines deployed in the cloud computing environment with a plurality of storage devices, an operating system, and an application stored therein, wherein generating the logical network for the virtual storage appliance includes generating a plurality of logical networks for the virtual storage appliance;
- associating the logical network with a cloud subnet network interface within the cloud computing environment, wherein associating the logical network with the cloud subnet network interface includes associating each logical network of the plurality of logical networks with a separate cloud subnet network interface within the cloud computing environment;
- and
- allocating one or more logical network addresses from the cloud subnet network interface within the cloud computing environment to the virtual storage appliance.
A computing system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to generate a logical network for a virtual storage appliance deployed in a cloud computing environment, wherein the virtual storage appliance includes a set of virtual machines deployed in the cloud computing environment with a plurality of storage devices, an operating system, and an application stored therein, wherein generating the logical network for the virtual storage appliance includes generating a plurality of logical networks for the virtual storage appliance, wherein the processor is further configured to associate the logical network with a cloud subnet network interface within the cloud computing environment, wherein associating the logical network with the cloud subnet network interface includes associating each logical network of the plurality of logical networks with a separate cloud subnet network interface within the cloud computing environment, and wherein the processor is further configured to allocate one or more logical network addresses from the cloud subnet network interface within the cloud computing environment to the virtual storage appliance.
