1. A method for automatically generating a mirrored storage configuration, comprising:

  • receiving data regarding a plurality of logical storage units located in multiple storage enclosures connected to a single controller by multiple connections, the data including data identifying, for each logical storage unit, an established data connection between that logical storage unit and the controller; and

    automatically executing an algorithm based on the received logical storage unit data to generate a mirrored storage configuration;

    separating the plurality of logical storage units into groups based on the established data connection between the controller and each logical storage unit;

    sorting the logical storage units in each group based on a storage size of each logical storage unit; and

    determining mirrored pairs of the plurality of logical storage units based at least on;

    the established data connection between the controller and each logical storage unit;

    the groups of the logical storage units; and

    the size of the logical storage units within the groups.
