Abstract
A method begins by obtaining dispersed storage network (DSN) operational issue information concerning a DSN memory issue in a first locally operated DSN memory of a plurality of locally operated DSN memories. The method continues with determining whether the DSN memory issue is regarding a local DSN issue or a global DSN issue. When the DSN memory issue is the global DSN issue, the method continues with determining a corrective action in response to the DSN memory issue and determining whether the global DSN management unit is configured for automatic correction of the DSN memory issue. When the global DSN management unit is configured for automatic correction of the DSN memory issue in the first locally operated DSN memory of the plurality of locally operated DSN memories, the method continues with executing the corrective action in the first locally operated DSN memory.
