Abstract
A method for managing data storage in a data grouping includes generating a data storage configuration specifying the data grouping comprising a first configuration identifying a set of storage resources presently allocated to the data grouping, and a second configuration identifying a set of storage resources previously allocated to the data grouping; storing, in a tracking list, one or more identifiers of storage resources in the first configuration that are eligible to transition to the second configuration; and performing one or more update operations on the first configuration using the tracking list.
Claims20
A method for managing data storage in a data grouping, comprising:
- generating a data storage configuration specifying the data grouping comprising:
- a first configuration identifying a set of storage resources presently allocated to the data grouping, and
- a second configuration identifying a set of storage resources previously allocated to the data grouping;
- storing, in a tracking list, one or more identifiers of storage resources in the first configuration that are eligible to transition to the second configuration;
- and
- performing one or more update operations on the first configuration using the tracking list.
A system for managing data storage in a data grouping, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- generate a data storage configuration specifying the data grouping comprising:
- a first configuration identifying a set of storage resources presently allocated to the data grouping, and
- a second configuration identifying a set of storage resources previously allocated to the data grouping;
- store, in a tracking list, one or more identifiers of storage resources in the first configuration that are eligible to transition to the second configuration;
- and
- perform one or more update operations on the first configuration using the tracking list.
An electronic device for managing data storage in a data grouping, comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions, causing the electronic device to:
- generate a data storage configuration specifying the data grouping comprising:
- a first configuration identifying a set of storage resources presently allocated to the data grouping, and
- a second configuration identifying a set of storage resources previously allocated to the data grouping;
- store, in a tracking list, one or more identifiers of storage resources in the first configuration that are eligible to transition to the second configuration;
- and
- perform one or more update operations on the first configuration using the tracking list.
