Abstract:
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for load balancing between storage controllers. For example, a first storage controller and a second storage controller may be configured at a first storage site according to a high availability configuration, and may be configured as disaster recovery partners for a third storage controller and a fourth storage controller at a second storage site. If the first storage controller fails, the second storage controller provides failover operation for a first storage device. If a disaster occurs at the second storage site, the second storage controller provides switchover operation for a third storage device and a fourth storage device. Responsive to the first storage controller being restored, the third storage device may be reassigned from the second storage controller to the first storage controller for load balancing at the first storage site during disaster recovery of the second storage site.
