    Abstract: A method for execution by one or more computing devices of a storage network includes error encoding data into a set of encoded data slices. The method further includes storing the set of encoded data slices in first storage units of a first vault in accordance with first error encoding parameters. The method further includes initiating storage of the set of encoded data slices in second storage units of a second vault in accordance with second error encoding parameters. When a decode threshold number of encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices are stored in the second vault, the method further includes deleting one or more encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices stored in the first vault.

    Abstract: A method for execution by a computing device of a storage network includes determining an encoded data slice reduction scheme for a set of encoded data slices stored in a set of storage units of the storage network, where a data segment of data is encoded into the set of encoded data slices in accordance with encoding parameters, and where the encoding parameters include a pillar width number and a decode threshold number. The method further includes maintaining storage of the set of encoded data slices in accordance with the encoded data slice reduction scheme, where the maintaining storage includes keeping a number of encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices equal to or greater than the decode threshold number and less than the pillar width number.

    Abstract: A method includes determining, by a computing device of a plurality of computing devices of a storage network, a data processing plan for processing an access request. The method further includes identifying two or more processing units of a plurality of processing units of the storage network based on the data processing plan and availability information, and determining processing capabilities of each of the two or more processing units. The method further includes selecting a processing unit of the two or more processing units to process the access request based on a favorable comparison of the processing capabilities of the processing unit and the data processing plan. The method further includes selecting one or more processing options of the processing unit to process the access request according to the data processing plan, and sending the access request and selection of the one or more processing options to the processing unit.
