Abstract
A method includes identifying an existing logical storage vault having existing dispersed storage coding properties for vault transformation, where a first set of storage units support the existing logical storage vault, and a data object of first data objects stored within the first set of storage units is stored as a first plurality of sets of encoded data slices in accordance with the existing dispersed storage coding properties. The method includes identifying a new logical storage vault having new dispersed storage coding properties, wherein storage units support the new logical storage vault. The method includes transforming the first data objects from being in accordance with the existing dispersed storage coding properties to being in accordance with the new dispersed storage coding properties to produce transformed first data objects. The method includes storing the transformed first data objects in the new logical storage vault supported by the storage units.
