Abstract:
A method of operating a storage system includes: configuring the address space so that each LBA is assigned to at least two servers among a plurality of at least three servers in a control grid: to a primary server with a primary responsibility for handling requests corresponding to said LBA, and to a secondary server with a secondary responsibility for handling requests corresponding to said LBA. In response to a request corresponding to a certain LBA range, generating by a data server having primary responsibility over the certain LBA range, a primary cache object; identifying a data server configured as a secondary data server with regard to the certain LBA range; and generating a redundancy cache object corresponding to the primary cache object only at the identified secondary data server, the redundancy cache object to be used by the identified secondary data server when taking the primary responsibility.
