Abstract

A storage server comprises a plurality of storage devices arranged in a redundant storage array and a plurality of controllers. One of the controllers determines that a storage device in the redundant storage array has failed, determines a first portion of the storage device to be recovered by a first controller and determines a second portion of the storage device to be recovered by a second controller. The first controller recovers the first portion of the storage device and the second controller recovers the second portion of the storage device.
