SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONFIGURING, CREATING, AND MODIFYING PARALLEL FILE SYSTEMS

Abstract:

A method, a computing device, and a non-transitory machine-readable medium for allocating configuring, creating, and modifying parallel file systems are disclosed. In one or more example embodiments, a file system object that identifies a set of parameters (e.g., name, capacity, subnetwork, subnetwork partition, etc.) for a parallel file system is received at an orchestration engine from a service. In response to detecting the presence of the file system object, a controller of the orchestration engine creates a set of orchestration objects based on the set of parameters. The orchestration engine then configures a container structure based on the set of orchestration objects. The container structure may include a container for running a file system service for the parallel file system. The orchestration engine mounts a set of volumes in a distributed storage system to the container structure for use in running the parallel file system.
