Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems and methods for removes and/or adding log and/or cache devices to storage pools of a storage appliance. Users, via a graphical-user interface, identify the log and/or cache devices for removal or addition. Subsequently, the log and/or cache devices are moved, according to a data profile corresponding to the devices, from a first storage appliance to a second storage appliance.

Systems and methods for support log cache device removal through standard user interfaces

Systems and methods for increasing scalability and reducing latency in relation to managing large numbers of storage arrays of a storage network. Separate, dedicated, communication channels may be established between an array manager running on a server and each of a number of storage arrays for respectively performing reading and writing operations to limit the delays imposed by repeated array connection setup and teardown and improve array communication stability (e.g., as compared to performing read/write operations over the same array connection). The read connection can be used to maintain current state information (e.g., volumes, capacities, and the like) for a plurality of storage arrays in a local cache of the array manager that can be quickly accessed by the array manager, such as for presenting substantially current, summary-type state information of the various storage arrays to a user (e.g., upon the user requesting to configure a particular storage array).
