Abstract

See full text

A computer system can advantageously include a location service that minimizes changes to a directory in the event of moving a storage unit. Each storage unit can use its meta data to indicate the persistent objects the storage unit contains. The directory can store a translation between a persistent object and its corresponding storage unit. The servers can register their corresponding storage units using the location service. Based these registrations, the access network of the system can successfully request persistent objects from the appropriate servers. Advantageously, this system configuration allows a storage unit to be moved without changing a directory entry, thereby minimizing both time and system resources.
