Abstract:
A method for a dispersed storage network (DSN) includes electing a local master management unit for each DSN storage site. The method continues by maintaining aggregated views of each the DSN storage sites via each of the local master management units, collecting, via the local master management unit, local state information from the subset of a plurality of DSN storage units, calculating, via the local master management unit, tabulated state information and distributing the tabulated state information across all storage units within the DSN storage site, thus reaching consistency. The method includes generating, based on the tabulated state information, alerts for one or more targets within the DSN storage site and distribution of the alerts to the one or more targets within the DSN storage site. The method further includes updating the DSN management unit with the tabulated state information and alert information.
