Automatic RAID provisioning
Systems and methods for automatic provisioning of a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) are disclosed. In particular, the systems and methods include automatically determining, using one or more processors, that a first partition associated with a first storage device and a second partition associated with a second storage device are associated with a common mount point; and automatically adding, using the one or more processors, the first partition and the second partition to a RAID.
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
automatically determining, using one or more processors, that a first partition associated with a first storage device and a second partition associated with a second storage device are associated with a common mount point; and
automatically adding, using the one or more processors, the first partition and the second partition to a redundant array of independent disks (RAID).
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, based on the role of the first storage device, a first partition template; and
applying the first partition template to the first storage device.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising:
determining, based on the role of the second storage device, a second partition template; and
applying the second partition template to the second storage device.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the first partition template defines one or more partitions and corresponding mount points associated with the one or more partitions.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
automatically determining that a third partition associated with a third storage device is associated with the common mount point; and
automatically adding the third partition to the RAID.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , further comprising: re-assembling, responsive to automatically adding the third partition to the RAID, the RAID, wherein the third storage device replaces one of the first storage device and the second storage device.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the third storage device is in addition to the first storage device and the second storage device.
8. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer usable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
automatically determine that a first partition associated with a first storage device and a second partition associated with a second storage device are associated with a common mount point; and
automatically add the first partition and the second partition to a redundant array of independent disks (RAID).
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the system to:
determine, based on the role of the first storage device, a first partition template; and
apply the first partition template to the first storage device.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the system to:
determine, based on the role of the second storage device, a second partition template; and
apply the second partition template to the second storage device.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first partition template defines one or more partitions and corresponding mount points associated with the one or more partitions.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the system to:
automatically determine that a third partition associated with a third storage device is associated with the common mount point; and
automatically add the third partition to the RAID.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the system to: re-assemble, responsive to automatically adding the third partition to the RAID, the RAID, wherein the third storage device replaces one of the first storage device and the second storage device.
14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the third storage device is in addition to the first storage device and the second storage device.
15. A system, comprising:
one or more processors;
one or more memories;
means for automatically determining that a first partition associated with a first storage device and a second partition associated with a second storage device are associated with a common mount point; and
means for automatically adding the first partition and the second partition to a redundant array of independent disks (RAID).
16. The system of claim 15 , further comprising:
means for determining, based on a role of the first storage device, a first partition template; and
means for applying the first partition template to the first storage device.
17. The system of claim 16 , further comprising:
means for determining, based on a role of the second storage device, a second partition template; and
means for applying the second partition template to the second storage device.
18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the first partition template defines one or more partitions and corresponding mount points associated with the one or more partitions.
19. The system of claim 15 , further comprising:
means for automatically determining that a third partition associated with a third storage device is associated with the common mount point; and
means for automatically adding the third partition to the RAID.
20. The system of claim 19 , further comprising:
means for re-assembling, responsive to automatically adding the third partition to the RAID, the RAID, wherein the third storage device replaces one of the first storage device and the second storage device.
