Abstract
A type of a storage subsystem that has been connected to a computing device is detected as one of a number of types including a first type and a second type (602). The first type of storage subsystem has a number of storage devices in which data to be stored on the storage subsystem is duplicated within the storage subsystem itself. The second type of storage subsystem has a number of storage devices in which the data to be stored on the storage subsystem is not duplicated within the storage subsystem itself. A data duplication policy for the storage subsystem is set in accordance with the type that has been determined (608).
Claims14
A method (600) comprising:
- detecting (602), by a computing device, a type of a storage subsystem that has been connected to the computing device as one of a plurality of types comprising:
- a first type of storage subsystem having a plurality of storage devices in which data to be stored on the storage subsystem is duplicated within the storage subsystem itself;
- a second type of storage subsystem having a plurality of storage devices in which the data to be stored on the storage subsystem is not duplicated within the storage subsystem itself;
- and,
- setting, by the computing device, a data duplication policy for the storage subsystem in accordance with the type that has been determined (608).
A system (100) comprising:
- a processor (102);
- a computer-readable data storage medium (104) having one or more computer programs (106) stored thereon for execution by the processor;
- a plurality of connectors (114), each connector receptive to connection of a storage subsystem;
- a first component (108) implemented by the computer programs to, upon connection of a given storage subsystem to one of the connectors, detect a type of the given storage subsystem as one of a plurality of types comprising:
- a first type of storage subsystem having a plurality of storage devices in which data to be stored on the storage subsystem is duplicated within the storage subsystem itself;
- a second type of storage subsystem having a plurality of storage devices in which the data to be stored on the storage subsystem is not duplicated within the storage subsystem itself;
- and,
- a second component (110) implemented by the computer programs to set a data duplication policy for the given storage subsystem in accordance with the type that has been determined.
A computer-readable data storage medium having one or more computer programs stored thereon for execution by a processor of a computing device, execution of the computer programs by the processor causing a method (600) to be performed, the method comprising:
- detecting (602) a type of a storage subsystem that has been connected to the computing device as one of a plurality of types comprising:
- a first type of storage subsystem having a plurality of storage devices in which data to be stored on the storage subsystem is duplicated within the storage subsystem itself;
- a second type of storage subsystem having a plurality of storage devices in which the data to be stored on the storage subsystem is not duplicated within the storage subsystem itself;
- and,
- setting a data duplication policy for the storage subsystem in accordance with the type that has been determined (608).
