Abstract
A computer-implemented method for transferring input/output operations within computer clusters may include (1) identifying a computer cluster that includes (i) a plurality of nodes configured to facilitate access to a plurality of physical storage devices and (ii) at least one computing object that represents data stored on the physical storage devices, (2) detecting at least one failure that prevents at least one node within the computer cluster from performing at least one input/output operation on the computing object that represents the data stored on the physical storage devices, (3) identifying at least one other node within the computer cluster that is able to perform the input/output operation on the computing object, and then (4) directing the other node within the computer cluster to perform the input/output operation on the computing object. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
