Abstract

A method of operating a plurality of blades of a storage system, performed by the storage system, is provided. The method includes writing data stripes across one or more sets of blades of the plurality of blades within resiliency groups, the plurality of blades having computing resources and storage memory, each resiliency group supporting data recovery in case of loss of a specified number of blades of the resiliency group. The method includes transferring data from a first resiliency group to a second resiliency group, responsive to a change in geometry of the storage system.
