摘要: A method for reconfiguration of a disk drive array is provided. For the present invention, an controller in examines original configuration (the source configuration) and desired destination configuration). Based on this examination, determines if process may be optimized. To optimize process, combination changes to system parameters possible rebuilding operations can replace migration process. If possible, modified eliminate data migration. Otherwise, performed. In way, invention provides that dramatically increases speed some configurations.
