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 a 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 a computer processor, the number of storage devices in the storage system that may be simultaneously servicing write operations.
