    Abstract: A method of operating a storage system is provided. The method includes detecting differing amounts of storage memory on two or more of a plurality of blades of the storage system and forming a plurality of resiliency groups of blades, based on the differing amounts of storage memory, each resiliency group comprising a subset of the plurality of blades of the storage system supporting data recovery in case of failure of two of the blades of the resiliency group.

    Abstract: A method of failure detection in a storage system is performed by the storage system. The method includes detecting a failure in a nonvolatile random access memory device that is in or coupled to a storage device having storage memory. The storage system has multiple NVRAM devices and multiple storage devices that have storage memory. The method includes taking a portion or all of the NVRAM device offline. Taking a portion or all of the NVRAM device offline is responsive to detecting the failure. Taking a portion or all of the NVRAM device off-line is while keeping online the storage memory of the storage device, sufficient ones of the NVRAM devices, and sufficient ones of the storage devices to provide reliable access to data and metadata in the storage system.

    Abstract: A method of operating a plurality of blades of a storage system, performed by the storage system, is provided. The method includes writing data stripes across one or more sets of blades of the plurality of blades within resiliency groups, the plurality of blades having computing resources and storage memory, each resiliency group supporting data recovery in case of loss of a specified number of blades of the resiliency group. The method includes transferring data from a first resiliency group to a second resiliency group, responsive to a change in geometry of the storage system.
