Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for uninterrupted storage configuration. The apparatus for uninterrupted storage configuration is provided with a plurality of modules configured to functionally execute the steps of generating a temporary location for storage configuration information, saving the storage configuration information to the temporary location, and copying the storage configuration information from the temporary location to a storage medium in response to a determination that the storage medium is physically configurable. In one embodiment, these modules include an initialization module, a storage manager interface, and a storage medium interface. Beneficially, such an apparatus, system, and method would streamline the configuration process, improving the efficiency of a typical storage manager, and allowing a storage system administrator to focus his attention on other tasks.
