A method and system for automating the creation of a managed data storage system. Specifically the present invention describes an automated method for building, evaluating and repairing a managed set of disk storage devices utilizing a rule based expert system operating on a host computer. The system allocates available disks and controllers according to a predetermined size requirement and a set of rules. The set of rules designates a layout that provides optimum performance. The system also evaluates the layout by utilizing a set of rules to test reliability and comparative analysis to test performance. The system performs self-repairs in the event of a component failure and generates a notification of the failure and an analysis of the degradation of the system resulting from the failure so replacement components might be obtained.
