Abstract
Reconfiguring a storage system based on resource availability, including: limiting a number of storage devices in a storage system that may be simultaneously servicing write operations; determining that an amount of required write bandwidth has changed; and subsequent to determining that the amount of required write bandwidth has changed, adjusting, by a computer processor, the number of storage devices in the storage system that may be simultaneously servicing write operations.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- limiting a number of storage devices in a storage system that may be simultaneously servicing write operations;
- determining that an amount of required write bandwidth has changed;
- and
- subsequent to determining that the amount of required write bandwidth has changed, adjusting, by a computer processor, the number of storage devices in the storage system that may be simultaneously servicing write operations.
An apparatus, the apparatus comprising a computer processor and a computer memory, the computer memory including computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to carry out the steps of:
- limiting a number of storage devices in a storage system that may be simultaneously servicing write operations;
- determining that an amount of required write bandwidth has changed;
- and
- subsequent to determining that the amount of required write bandwidth has changed, adjusting, by the computer processor, the number of storage devices in the storage system that may be simultaneously servicing write operations.
A storage system comprising a plurality of storage devices, a computer processor and a computer memory, the computer memory including computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the storage system to carry out the steps of:
- limiting a number of storage devices in the storage system that may be simultaneously servicing write operations;
- determining that an amount of required write bandwidth has changed;
- and
- subsequent to determining that the amount of required write bandwidth has changed, adjusting, by the computer processor, the number of storage devices in the storage system that may be simultaneously servicing write operations.
