    摘要: A method and a system for volume group creation based on an automatic drive selection scheme are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of a redundant array of independent drives (RAID) includes processing at least one attribute data describing a volume group of the RAID. The method also includes automatically selecting a plurality of drives of the volume group based on at least one of an optimum tray distribution of the volume group, a spindle speed of each drive in the volume group, and an alignment of the plurality of drives in the volume group. In another embodiment, a system of a RAID includes a user device to communicate an attribute data describing a volume group of the RAID, and a drive selection module to automatically select a plurality of drives of the volume group based on the attribute data using a baseline selection algorithm.

    摘要: Methods and associated structure for migrating storage devices between storage subsystems. A storage device to be removed from a storage subsystem is first “exported” by altering configuration data stored on the storage device. The altered configuration information helps assure that the storage device will be recognized as a foreign device in any storage subsystem into which it is subsequently inserted. Forcing recognition of the storage device as a foreign storage device in any subsystem helps assure predictability of the process of importing the storage device into a new system and helps reduce the risk of data loss when reinserting the storage device into a storage subsystem. Storage devices so migrated may include individual disk drives as well as entire volumes comprising one or more disk drives.
