CONFIGURATION OF NEW STORAGE DEVICES IN A STORAGE DEVICE POOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17851566 titled 'CONFIGURATION OF NEW STORAGE DEVICES IN A STORAGE DEVICE POOL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes aspects related to configuring new storage devices in a storage device pool.

  • The storage management device receives optimization information from a source data storage device that was part of a data storage system.
  • The new data storage device is configured with the optimization learned by the source data storage device.
  • The data storage device receives optimization information from the storage management device, which includes optimizations learned by other source data storage devices.
  • The data storage device is then configured to include the optimizations learned by the source data storage devices.

Potential Applications

  • Data storage systems
  • Storage management devices
  • Source data storage devices

Problems Solved

  • Configuring new storage devices in a storage device pool
  • Optimizing the performance of data storage devices

Benefits

  • Improved performance of data storage devices
  • Efficient configuration of new storage devices in a storage device pool


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects directed towards configuring new storage devices in a storage device pool are provided. In one aspect, a storage management device receives optimization information that includes at least one optimization learned by at least one source data storage device while part of a data storage system. A new data storage device for the data storage system is then configured with the at least one device optimization. In another aspect, a data storage device receives optimization information from a storage management device coupled to a plurality of pooled data storage devices, which includes the data storage device and at least one source data storage device. For this aspect, the optimization information includes at least one optimization learned by the at least one source data storage device while coupled to the storage management device. The data storage device is then configured to include the at least one device optimization.
