POWER CONTROL IN A DISPERSED STORAGE NETWORK

摘要

A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module of a dispersed storage network (DSN) receiving a plurality of data access requests regarding a plurality of data objects. As individual data access requests of the plurality of data access requests are received, the method continues with the DS processing module, for each of the individual data access requests identifying a corresponding one of a plurality of logical storage pools of the DSN and determining power based access status of the corresponding one of the plurality of logical storage pools. When the power based access status is power saving mode, the method continues with the DS processing module queuing the individual data access request. When the power based access status is not in the power saving mode, the method continues with the DS processing module executing the individual data access request.

1. A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method comprises:
receiving a plurality of data access requests regarding a plurality of data objects, wherein a data object of the plurality of data objects is distributedly stored in a set of storage devices of a plurality of storage devices of the DSN, wherein the plurality of storage devices is arranged into a plurality of logical storage pools, wherein the set of storage devices stores data objects of the plurality of data objects having a common data access trait, and wherein the set of storage devices is affiliated with one of the plurality of logical storage pools; and as individual data access requests of the plurality of data access requests are received, for each individual data access request of the individual data access requests:
identifying a corresponding one of the plurality of logical storage pools;determining power based access status of the corresponding one of the plurality of logical storage pools;when the power based access status is power saving mode, queuing the individual data access request; andwhen the power based access status is not in the power saving mode, executing the individual data access request.
