    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for reliable peer-to-peer communication.
    SOLUTION: The system and method includes cluster connection managers (620, 625) that act as a unified resource for opening, closing and maintaining peer-to-peer communication channels between applications executed on storage systems comprising a storage system cluster. The cluster connection managers (620, 625) communicate with cluster connection manager clients to maintain and manage the communication channels. The cluster connection manager clients (605, 510, 615) may also be interconnected with a plurality of cluster interconnect drivers (630, 635), thereby enabling failover operation in the event that the cluster interconnect drivers suffer an error condition.

    Abstract: A system and method for disk ownership in a network storage system. Each disk has two ownership attributes set to show that a particular file server owns the disk. In a preferred embodiment the first ownership attribute is the serial number of the file server being written to a specific location on each disk and the second ownership attribute is setting a SCSI-3 persistent reservation. In a system utilizing this disk ownership method, multiple file servers can read data from a given disk, but only the file server that owns a particular disk can write data to the disk.

    Abstract: A filer converts a traditional volume to a flexible volume by: creating an aggregate on storage devices other than the storage devices of the traditional volume; on the aggregate, creating a flexible volume large enough to store metadata describing files residing on the traditional volume; on the flexible volume, creating metadata structures that describe the files of the traditional volume, except that the metadata indicates that data blocks and indirect blocks are absent and must be fetched from another location. As the filer handles I/O requests directed to the flexible volume, the filer calculates physical volume block number (PVBN) addresses where the requested blocks would be located in the aggregate and replaces the absent pointers with the calculated addresses. After the absent pointers have been replaced, the filer adds the storage devices of the traditional volume.
