Design and maintenance for the data storage system considering system rebuilding process

Considering the working and failure modes and maintenance process of a data storage system with data redundancy, we propose and study a reliability and maintenance model of a k-out-of-n:F system, in which the system experiences a rebuilding process with downgraded performance that follows preventive maintenance (PM) with replacement of failed components, and the system is subject to failure with different failure criteria during such rebuilding...
