Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Techniques are disclosed relating to storage device failover. In one embodiment, a plurality of storage devices are represented as cluster resources to a cluster resource manager that manages cluster resources on a plurality of cluster nodes. An indication may be received that a failover operation is requested with respect to one of the plurality of storage devices. In response to the indication, the cluster resource manager may initiate the failover operation. In some embodiments, the failover operation includes changing a first access state of the storage device and a second access state of another storage device. In such an embodiment, the storage device and the other storage device may be associated with a logical unit number. In some embodiments, the storage device is located within a first of the plurality of cluster nodes; the other storage device is located within a second of the plurality of cluster nodes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: representing a plurality of storage devices as resources of a cluster, to a cluster resource manager executing within the cluster, that manages cluster resources on a plurality of cluster nodes, the cluster resource manager executing as a user-level application; receiving, at a kernel-level storage driver executing within the cluster, a request from a client outside the cluster for a failover operation with respect to one of the plura…
