REAL TIME BACKUP STORAGE NODE ASSIGNMENT
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of assigning a storage node from a storage grid to a server, the storage grid including multiple storage nodes capable of backing up a policy stored on the server, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving an assignment request which requests assignment of one of the multiple storage nodes of the storage grid to the server to backup the policy stored on the server;
performing a storage node assignment operation in an automated manner in response to the assignment request, the storage node assignment operation providing an assignment result identifying a storage node assigned to backup the policy stored on the server, the assignment result being based on an assessment of storage space requirements of the policy and available storage space resources of the storage grid; and
notifying the server of the assignment result to effectuate backing up of the policy stored on the server by the storage node.

Abstract
A method of assigning a storage node from a storage grid to a server is presented. The storage grid includes multiple storage nodes capable of backing up a policy stored on the server. The method includes receiving an assignment request which requests assignment of one of the multiple storage nodes of the storage grid to the server to backup the policy stored on the server. The method also includes performing a storage node assignment operation in an automated manner in response to the assignment request, the storage node assignment operation providing an assignment result identifying a storage node assigned to backup the policy stored on the server, the assignment result being based on an assessment of storage space requirements of the policy and available storage space resources of the storage grid. The method further includes notifying the server of the assignment result to effectuate backing up of the policy stored on the server by the storage node.

11. An electronic apparatus to assign a storage node from a storage grid to a server, the storage grid including multiple storage nodes capable of backing up a policy stored on the server, the electronic apparatus comprising:
-
a network interface; and a control circuit coupled to the network interface, the control circuit being constructed and arranged to receive, through the network interface, an assignment request which requests assignment of one of the multiple storage nodes of the storage grid to the server to backup the policy stored on the server, perform a storage node assignment operation in an automated manner in response to the assignment request, the storage node assignment operation providing an assignment result identifying a storage node assigned to backup the policy stored on the server, the assignment result being based on an assessment of storage space requirements of the policy and available storage space resources of the storage grid, and notify the server, through the network interface, of the assignment result to effectuate backing up of the policy stored on the server by the storage node. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer program product which includes a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing code, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to assign a storage node from a storage grid to a server, the storage grid including multiple storage nodes capable of backing up a policy stored on the server, the code including:
-
instructions to receive an assignment request which requests assignment of one of the multiple storage nodes of the storage grid to the server to backup the policy stored on the server, instructions to perform a storage node assignment operation in an automated manner in response to the assignment request, the storage node assignment operation providing an assignment result identifying a storage node assigned to backup the policy stored on the server, the assignment result being based on an assessment of storage space requirements of the policy and available storage space resources of the storage grid, and instructions to notify the server of the assignment result to effectuate backing up of the policy stored on the server by the storage node. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
