Abstract

A method of operating a storage system is provided. The method includes detecting differing amounts of storage memory on two or more of a plurality of blades of the storage system and forming a plurality of resiliency groups of blades, based on the differing amounts of storage memory, each resiliency group comprising a subset of the plurality of blades of the storage system supporting data recovery in case of failure of two of the blades of the resiliency group.
