Abstract
A first RAID module is added to a first RAID controller and a second RAID module is added to a second RAID controller. An array of physical disks is partitioned into two partitions across the array of physical disks. The first partition is assigned to the first RAID module and the second partition is exposed to the second RAID module. Each of the RAID modules exposes their respective partitions to their associated RAID controller as a single array. Each RAID module further receives I/O from its respective RAID controller, and translates the I/O to access its associated partition.
