ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for identifying each of the members of a set of physical mass storage devices acting as one logical mass storage device are provided. Each physical mass storage device is assigned a membership signature identifying it as a valid member of the set. Whenever a member of a set undergoes a change in membership status, the membership signatures of all other devices in the set are changed, so that the member with the changed membership state no longer has a valid signature. When the member is reinstalled, it can be given a new valid signature after it is updated or regenerated.
