  • Migrating data in response to changes in hardware or workloads at a data store
    Patent number: 10178174
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to modifying storage capacity within a data store and to modifying resiliency for a data store. In one scenario, a computer system receives a request to move data. The computer system may determine that data is to be moved from an allocation on one data store to a new allocation on another data store. The computer system may create a new allocation on the other data store, where the new allocation is configured to receive data from the first data store. The computer system then moves the data to the new allocation on the second data store as data I/O requests are received at the first data store. Data store access requests are synchronized with the data movement by directing the data store access requests to the first data store, to the second data store or to both data stores depending on the type of access request.
