Systems and methods for configuring, creating, and modifying parallel file systems

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for performing a method comprising machine executable code which, when executed by at least one machine, causes the at least one machine to:

• detect a presence of a file system object on an application programming interface server, wherein the file system object includes a set of parameters for a parallel file system;
• create a set of orchestration objects based on the set of parameters;
• configure a container structure based on the set of orchestration objects, wherein the container structure is assigned to a worker node associated with the orchestration engine;
• mount a set of volumes in a distributed storage system to the container structure for use in running the parallel file system;
• and
• establish communications between a client and a file system service running within the container structure, wherein the container structure provides access to data stored in the set of volumes.

A computing device comprising:

• a memory containing machine readable medium comprising machine executable code having stored thereon instructions for performing a method of managing a parallel file system during input/output (I/O) operation;
• and
• a processor coupled to the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the processor to:
• detect a presence of a file system object on an application programming interface server of an orchestration engine, wherein the file system object includes a set of parameters for a parallel file system;
• create automatically a set of orchestration objects based on the set of parameters;
• configure a container structure based on the set of orchestration objects;
• and
• mount a set of volumes in a distributed storage system to the container structure for use in running the parallel file system.
