Abstract
A method for execution by a dispersed storage and task (DST) client module includes obtaining a data identifier for slice location identification. A source name corresponding to the data identifier is identified. A plurality of data segments are identified based on the source name. A set of slice names are generated for each of the plurality of data segments. A set of DST execution units are identified based on the sets of slice names. A set of query requests are generated for each data segment for transmission to the set of DST execution units. Query responses are received from the set of DST execution units. A storage record is generated that includes storage location information of the query responses. Migration of at least some encoded data slices associated with the sets of slice names is facilitated when the storage record compares unfavorably to a storage record requirement.
