    Abstract: This disclosure describes a method of utilizing network controllers to store mappings between policies, dynamic operating attributes (DOA), and trigger values in a manifest and utilizing software agents in communication to monitor DOAs of respective workloads or workload groupings for trigger values associated with the DOAs to apply a corresponding policy at run-time. The method provides for flexible policy semantics and on-demand policy provisioning. The method includes receiving at a network controller, a definition of a policy, a DOA associated with a workload, and a trigger value associated with the DOA, storing a mapping between the policy, DOA and trigger value, sending the DOA and the trigger value to a datapath agent monitoring respective workloads, receiving an indication that a current value of the DOA of the workload corresponds to the trigger value from the software agent, and sending the policy to the software agent for distribution to the workload.

    Abstract: A methodology is provided. The methodology includes: creating a virtual storage area network between one or more storage arrays and a switch; creating a service profile for a zoning configuration, wherein the service profile is associated with at least one or more servers to create the zoning configuration; updating the zoning configuration with a worldwide port name identity for each of the one or more servers; configuring virtual host bus adapters for the service profile; associating a storage target port on one of the one or more storage arrays with a specific one of the virtual host bus adapters; and associating at least one of the one or more servers to a storage policy, wherein storage target ports can be added and removed from the storage policy, wherein a change of one of the storage target ports in the storage policy causes a change of the zoning configuration.
