  • Storage enclosure reconfiguration
    Patent number: 11226751
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to reconfiguring storage devices of a storage enclosure. An indication of a cable connection may be received at a first port of the storage enclosure. Storage devices of the storage enclosure may be in communication with a controller via a second port of the storage enclosure. Responsive to receiving the connection indication, the set of storage devices may be reconfigured and/or zoned such that each of a first subset of the set of storage devices is enabled to communicate to a controller via the first port. Similarly, the set of storage devices may be further reconfigured and/or zoned such that each of a second subset of the set of storage devices is enabled to communicate to the controller via the second port.
