Systems and methods for automatically generating a mirrored storage configuration for a storage array

摘要

An information handling system includes a plurality of storage enclosures, a plurality of logical storage units located in each storage enclosure, a controller connected to each of the plurality of logical storage units. The controller is configured to receive data regarding the plurality of logical storage units, and automatically execute an algorithm based on the received logical storage unit data to generate a mirrored storage configuration to be implemented, the mirrored storage configuration defining mirrored pairs of the plurality of logical storage units.

1. A method for automatically generating a mirrored storage configuration, comprising:
establishing a data connection between a controller and each of a plurality of logical storage units located in multiple storage enclosures, each of the logical storage units located in an enclosure slot; separating the logical storage units into groups based on the established data connection between the controller and each of the logical storage units; sorting the logical storage units in each group based on a proximity of the enclosure slot of each of the logical storage units to the controller; and determining mirrored pairs of the logical storage units based on:
the established data connection between the controller and each of the logical storage units;the groups of the logical storage units; andthe proximity of the logical storage units within the groups to the controller.
