Abstract
A shared storage architecture is described for coordinating management of a shared storage between nodes of a network storage system. In various embodiments, the shared storage is partitioned into and different partitions are assigned to different nodes of the network storage system. The shared storage architecture provides techniques for asserting reservations on the shared storage, managing state of the shared storage, and implementing various configurations of the network storage system using the shared storage.
