Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) Operation Predictor

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon program code executable by a computer system, the program code embodying a method for predicting an outcome of a storage management operation on a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) deployment, the method comprising:

• retrieving a current storage resource state of the HCI deployment;
• executing a simulation of the storage management operation in view of the current storage resource state, the executing including performing one or more simulated data movements between one or more host systems in the HCI deployment;
• and
• generating a report including a predicted result status of the storage management operation based on the simulation.

A computer system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program code that, when executed, causes the processor to:
• retrieve a current storage resource state of a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) deployment;
• execute a simulation of the storage management operation in view of the current storage resource state, the executing including performing one or more simulated data movements between one or more host systems in the HCI deployment;
• and
• generate a report including a predicted result status of the storage management operation based on the simulation.
