Abstract
Techniques for providing lifecycle handling of faults associated with a storage appliance. The techniques can include recording information or details of one or more detected faults associated with a storage appliance in a fault database, analyzing the recorded fault information/details by an analytic tool, and determining whether to perform immediate recovery or defer recovery of the detected fault(s) based at least on a recommendation of the analytic tool. In this way, taking the storage appliance offline upon occurrence of a single fault can, for the most part, be avoided. In addition, because the detection of faults is not performed within a fault domain for a filesystem handling files for a single or limited number of volume families, a deduplication domain for the files of the filesystem is not restricted to the single or limited number of volume families.
