  • DYNAMIC DATA PLACEMENT FOR DISTRIBUTED STORAGE
    Publication number: 20120331249
    Abstract: A command is received to alter data storage in a cluster, along with parameters for executing the command. Information is obtained relating to one or more volumes in the cluster and information relating to devices in the cluster. A formal description of a placement function is generated that maps one or more object identifiers to a storage device set. Placement function code is generated by compiling the formal description of the placement function to computer-executable code.
