Abstract

See full text

Embodiments relate to facilitating a plurality of heterogeneous hosts to use a range of priority values. A method of facilitating a plurality of heterogeneous hosts to use a range of priority values is provided. The method retrieves a plurality of priority ranges from a plurality of network forwarding elements shared by a plurality of heterogeneous hosts. The network forwarding elements provide access to a set of storage devices that stores data for the plurality of heterogeneous hosts. The method generates, by a computer that comprises one of the heterogeneous hosts, a universal priority range from the plurality of priority ranges. The method maps a plurality of workloads performed by the computer to priority values in the universal priority range. The method sends the universal priority range to at least one other host of the heterogeneous hosts.
