Distributed storage systems are expected to serve a broad spectrum of applications, satisfying various requirements with respect to capacity, speed, reliability, security at low cost. Virtualization techniques allow˜exible con°guration of storage systems in order to meet resource constraints and application requirements. Violin provides block level virtualization that enables the extension of storage with new mechanisms and combining them to create modular hierarchies. Creating and maintaining such virtualization hierarchies however, is a complex task where a human system administrator is the most expensive and less ef°cient element. We introduced Conductor, an automated support system that tries to grasp human expertise with declarative rules that are applied to storage management. So far the initial, static con°guration capabilities of Conductor have been elaborated. Static features however, are not suf°cient for practical purposes as the storage system evolves, i.e. requirements, workloads, access patterns may change in time. This paper presents work in progress that is aimed at extending Conductor with supporting dynamic features. We introduce the concepts of global and directed recon°gurations and discuss their potential strengths and weaknesses.
