Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a system and method for verifying disconfigurations of file servers by performing a verification in real-time after any disk event which modifies the disk configuration. A disk verification layer of the storage operating system compares the updated disk topology and configuration with a set of rules associated with a particular file server configuration. If the disk topology or configuration is such that data loss or corruption can occur, the file server is halted. If the disk topology or configuration could be improved for higher availability an appropriate warning is issued to the user or administrator.
