Abstract:
One or more techniques and/or devices are provided for storage virtual machine relocation (e.g., ownership change) between storage clusters. For example, operational statistics of a first storage cluster and a second storage cluster may be evaluated to identify a set of load balancing metrics. Ownership of one or more storage aggregates and/or one or more storage virtual machines may be changed (e.g., permanently changed for load balancing purposes or temporarily changed for disaster recovery purposes) between the first storage cluster and the second storage cluster utilizing zero-copy ownership change operations based upon the set of load balancing metrics. For example, if the first storage cluster is experiencing a relatively heavier load of client I/O operations and the second storage cluster has available resources, ownership of a storage aggregate and a storage virtual machine may be switched from the first storage cluster to the second storage cluster for load balancing.

Claim (Index 7):
A non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon instructions, for performing a method, which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to:\n identify a first operational load of a first computing environment hosting a first storage virtual machine associated with a first storage aggregate; identify a second operational load of a second computing environment hosting a replicated storage virtual machine that is a replication of the first storage virtual machine; determine that the first operational load is a threshold amount greater than the second operational load; switch ownership of the first storage aggregate, the first storage virtual machine, and the replicated storage virtual machine from the first computing environment to the second computing environment; and switch the replicated storage virtual machine from a dormant state to an active state for facilitating client access, from the second computing environment, to user data stored within the first storage aggregate.
