A method for a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method begins by creating a plurality of DSN storage sites including a subset of a plurality of DSN storage units, retrieving current site configuration for each of the plurality of DSN storage units and electing a local master management unit for each of the DSN storage sites. The method continues by maintaining aggregated views of each the DSN storage sites via each of the local master management units, collecting, via the local master management unit, local state information from the subset of a plurality of DSN storage units, calculating, via the local master management unit, tabulated state information and distributing the tabulated state information across all storage units within the DSN storage site, thus reaching consistency. The method includes updating the DSN management unit with the tabulated state information.
