Claim:
An apparatus for uninterrupted storage configuration, the apparatus comprising: an initialization module coupled to a storage manager, wherein the initialization module is configured to generate a temporary location for new storage configuration information generated by the storage manager, the new storage configuration information comprising at least one new logical relationship between the at least two storage devices, the at least one new logical relationship being different than at least one existing logical relationship between the at least two storage devices; a storage manager interface coupled to the initialization module, wherein the storage manager interface is configured to save the new storage configuration information generated by the storage manager to the temporary location instead of the at least two storage devices in response to a determination that the at least two storage devices are not physically configurable; and a storage medium interface coupled to the at least two storage devices, wherein the storage medium interface is configured to copy the new storage configuration information from the temporary location to the at least two storage devices in response to a determination that a status of the at least two storage devices has changed from not being physically configurable to being physically configurable.
