Patent number: 11422908Abstract: During a storage redundancy giveback from a first node to a second node following a storage redundancy takeover from the second node by the first node, the second node is initialized in part by receiving a node identification indicator from the second node. The node identification indicator is included in a node advertisement message sent by the second node during a giveback wait phase of the storage redundancy giveback. The node identification indicator includes an intra-cluster node connectivity identifier that is used by the first node to determine whether the second node is an intra-cluster takeover partner. In response to determining that the second node is an intra-cluster takeover partner, the first node completes the giveback of storage resources to the second node.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: NetApp Inc.Inventors: Amit V. Panara, Chaitanya V. Patel, Hrishikesh Keremane, Pankti Vinay Majmudar, Santhosh Unnikrishnan, Sravan Kumar Elpula, Susan M. Coatney

Patent number: 10853203Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for controlling restoration of a storage aggregate. For example, a local storage device, located at a first storage site, and a remote storage device, located at a second storage site, may be assigned to a first storage aggregate. Responsive to a disaster of the first storage site, a gate may be created for the local storage device. The gate may block automated reconstruction and/or automated synchronization that may otherwise occur with respect to the local storage device. Until the local storage device is restored, the remote storage device may be used to service I/O requests that were otherwise directed to the local storage device. Responsive to receiving a user restoration command, the gate may be removed from the local storage device. Synchronization between the local storage device and the remote storage device may then be facilitated.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: NetApp Inc.Inventors: Chaitanya V. Patel, Laurent Nicolas Lambert, Linda Ann Riedle, Sandeep T. Nirmale
