  • System and Method for Dynamically Allocating Storage Drives in a Storage Array
    Publication number: 20180293013
    Abstract: A storage array includes a storage controller and a set of storage drives. The set of storage drives includes a virtual disk formed from a group of the storage drives and a ready storage drive. The storage controller is configured to add the ready storage drive to the virtual disk to increase the size of the virtual disk when a threshold percentage of data storage provided by the virtual disk is used for data storage. The storage controller is configured to monitor when a storage drive of the virtual disk enters a predictive fail state, and in response to replace the predictive fail storage drive with the ready storage drive. The storage controller is configured to monitor when a storage drive of the virtual disk fails, and in response to replace the failed storage drive with the ready storage drive.

  • System and method for replacing storage devices
    Patent number: 10007432
    Abstract: A method for copying data from a storage device that has been identified for replacement or has failed to a spare storage device. The method includes a storage controller tracking input/output statistics for several storage devices. The storage controller determines if a first storage device storing first data has been identified for replacement within the storage devices. In response to the first storage device having been identified for replacement, a first least written to data address space within the first storage device is determined based on the input/output statistics. First data contained in the first least written to data address space is copied from the first storage device to the spare storage device.
