Abstract

See full text

A system and method for transferring ownership of a volume in a networked storage environment. The method first moves the disks that comprise the volume being transferred from a source-owned state to an un-owned state. Next the disks are moved to a destination-owned state. Each step of the transfer process completes on all disks before the next step begins to ensure consistency and disks that have conflicting owners. Alternate embodiments include logging by the source and destination nodes to permit a resumption of the transfer if one node becomes inactive during the transfer.
