METHODS FOR PROVIDING GLOBAL SPARE DATA STORAGE DEVICE MANAGEMENT AND DEVICES THEREOF

摘要

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and computing device that determines in response to an event when currently owned spare data storage devices by one of a pair of storage node computing devices in a high availability pair are insufficient to satisfy a requirement for the event for one or more additional spare data storage devices having one or more data storage device parameters. One or more currently owned spare data storage devices by the other one of the storage node computing devices sufficient to satisfy the requirement are identified. The identified one or more currently owned spare data storage devices owned by the other one of the pair of storage node computing devices that satisfy the requirement are assigned to the one of the pair of storage node computing devices.
