Abstract:
An example method for facilitating policy-driven storage in a microserver computing environment is provided and includes receiving, at an input/output (I/O) adapter in a microserver chassis having a plurality of compute nodes and a shared storage resource, policy contexts prescribing storage access parameters of respective compute nodes and enforcing the respective policy contexts on I/O operations by the compute nodes, in which respect a particular I/O operation by any compute node is not executed if the respective policy context does not allow the particular I/O operation. The method further includes allocating tokens to command descriptors associated with I/O operations for accessing the shared storage resource, identifying a violation of any policy context of any compute node based on availability of the tokens, and throttling I/O operations by other compute nodes until the violation disappears.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein throttling I/O operations by other compute nodes comprises executing a frequency throttler comprising a thread of instructions, wherein the throttling identifies sNICs associated with respective compute nodes that throttleable based on respective policy contexts associated with their corresponding compute nodes, adds the identified sNICs to a list of throttled sNICs, and changes a context state in corresponding policy contexts associated with the identified sNICs to indicate that I/O operations are paused, wherein no tokens are awarded to the paused sNICs.
