Abstract
A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method begins by obtaining maintenance tasks for performing within a DSN storage unit. The method continues by prioritizing the maintenance tasks and updating a status of the DSN storage unit to maintenance mode. The method continues by facilitating execution of the prioritized maintenance tasks and capturing maintenance task results as maintenance tasks are performed. The method continues by comparing the maintenance tasks to the captured maintenance task results to produce exceptions and sending, over a network, the exceptions to a DSN managing unit.
Claims20
A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method comprises:
- obtaining maintenance tasks for a DSN storage unit;
- prioritizing the maintenance tasks;
- updating a status of the DSN storage unit to maintenance mode;
- facilitating execution of the prioritized maintenance tasks;
- capturing maintenance task results as maintenance tasks are performed;
- comparing the maintenance tasks to the captured maintenance task results to produce exceptions;
- and
- sending, over a network, the exceptions to a DSN managing unit.
A computing device of a group of computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the computing device comprises:
- an interface;
- a local memory;
- and
- a processing module operably coupled to the interface and the local memory, wherein the processing module functions to:
- obtain maintenance tasks for performing within a DSN storage unit;
- prioritize the maintenance tasks;
- update a status of the DSN storage unit to maintenance mode;
- facilitate execution of the prioritized maintenance tasks;
- capture maintenance task results as maintenance tasks are performed;
- compare the maintenance tasks to the captured maintenance task results to produce exceptions;
- and
- send, over a network, the exceptions to a DSN managing unit.
