An information handling system includes a first storage controller coupled to a first storage device, a second storage controller coupled to a second storage device where the first storage device and the second storage device comprise a virtual disk and a processor to initiate a first discovery of the first storage device, initiate a first discovery of the virtual disk on the first storage controller, complete the discovery of the first storage device, initiate a first discovery of the second storage device, initiate a second discovery of the virtual disk on the second storage controller, determine that a first timeout for the first discovery of the virtual disk on the first storage controller will expire prior to completing the first discovery of the second storage device, and initiate a second discovery of the first storage device in response to determining that the timeout will expire.
