Abstract
A first namespace is generated on a particular storage device of the plurality of storage devices for storing configuration data for a storage system. The first namespace is accessible by one or more storage controllers of the storage system. A second namespace is generated on the particular storage device for storing other data at the particular storage device. The configuration data is stored in the first namespace and the other data is stored in the second namespace.
Claims20
A storage system comprising:
- a plurality of storage devices;
- and
- one or more storage controllers, operatively coupled to the plurality of storage devices, configured to:
- generate a first namespace on a particular storage device of the plurality of storage devices for storing configuration data for the storage system, wherein the first namespace is accessible by the one or more storage controllers;
- generate a second namespace on the particular storage device for storing other data at the particular storage device;
- and
- store the configuration data in the first namespace and the other data in the second namespace.
A method, comprising:
- generating, by one or more storage controllers, a first namespace on a particular storage device of a plurality of storage devices for storing configuration data for a storage system, wherein the first namespace is accessible by the one or more storage controllers;
- generate a second namespace on the particular storage device for storing other data at the particular storage device;
- and
- store the configuration data in the first namespace and the other data in the second namespace.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a processing device of one or more storage controllers to:
- generate a first namespace on a particular storage device of a plurality of storage devices for storing configuration data for a storage system, wherein the first namespace is accessible by the one or more storage controllers;
- generate a second namespace on the particular storage device for storing other data in the particular storage device;
- and
- store the configuration data in the first namespace and the other data in the second namespace.
