Monitoring device components using distributed ledger

One or more processor-readable storage media encoding processor-executable instructions for executing on a computer system a computer process, the computer process comprising:

• generating a device configuration distributed ledger block based on a hash of initial assembly of components of a storage device;
• storing the device configuration distributed ledger block on a node of a distributed ledger;
• detecting an activation of the storage device;
• in response to detecting the activation of the device, generating a current distributed ledger block based on a hash of current assembly of components of the storage device;
• comparing the current distributed ledger block with the device configuration distributed ledger block;
• and
• in response to determining that the current distributed ledger block does not match with the device configuration distributed ledger block, disabling the operation of the device.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory;
• and
• a ledger node stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to support a distributed ledger, the ledger node configured to:
• generate a device configuration ledger block based on initial assembly of components of a storage device;
• store the device configuration ledger block on a node of a distributed ledger;
• detect an activation of the device;
• in response to detecting the activation of the device, generating a current distributed ledger block based on current assembly of components of the storage device;
• and
• compare the current distributed ledger block with the device configuration ledger block;
• and
• in response to determining that the current distributed ledger block does not match with the device configuration ledger block disable the operation of the device.
