Abstract
A technique for emulation of a data storage system. The invention allows the level of services to be provided by a data storage system to be specified in terms of the level of services provided by another storage system. In one aspect, a performance characterization of a data storage device to be emulated is obtained (e.g., by experimental techniques). A specification of a workload is also obtained that includes a specification of a plurality of data stores for the workload. The data stores are assigned to an emulation data storage device according to the performance characterization and according to the specification of the workload such that sufficient resources of the emulation data storage device are allocated to the workload to meet the performance characterization of the data storage device to be emulated. The emulation data storage device is then operated under the workload. Quality-of-service (QoS) control may be performed so as to provide a degree of performance isolation among the workloads.
