A method begins by determining, by a local management unit of a first locally operated dispersed storage network (DSN) memory of a DSN, a DSN memory issue, where the DSN includes a plurality of locally operated DSN memories and at least one global DSN management unit, and where the plurality of locally operated DSN memories includes the first locally operated DSN memory. The method continues by determining whether the DSN issue is a global DSN issue or a local DSN issue. When the DSN issue is the global DSN issue, the method continues by determining whether the local management unit is configured as a DSN global management unit. When the local management unit is not configured as the global DSN management unit, the method continues by generating DSN operational issue information based on the DSN memory issue and sending the DSN operational issue information to the global DSN management unit.
