Abstract
Examples implementations relate to configuration of computational drives. An example computational drive includes a housing to be inserted in a drive bay of a host device, and persistent storage. The computational drive may also include a processor to respond to an insertion of the housing into the drive bay of the host device by configuring the computational drive to operate as a new node of a distributed file system, and connecting the computational drive to the distributed file system as the new node.
Claims20
A computational drive comprising:
- a housing to be inserted in a drive bay of a host device;
- persistent storage;
- and
- a processor to:
- in response to an insertion of the housing into the drive bay of the host device, configure the computational drive to operate as a new node of a distributed file system;
- and
- connect the computational drive to the distributed file system as the new node.
A computer implemented method comprising:
- powering up a computational drive upon an insertion in a drive bay of a host device, the computational drive comprising a drive processor;
- configuring, by the drive processor, the computational drive to operate as a new node of a distributed file system;
- and
- connecting, by the drive processor, the computational drive to the distributed file system as the new node.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that upon execution cause a processor to:
- in response to an insertion of a computational drive into a drive bay of a host device, configure the computational drive to operate as a new node of a distributed file system;
- and
- connect the computational drive to the distributed file system as the new node.
