ABSTRACT:
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code are provided for managing dual active controllers in a high availability storage configuration. Redundant dual active controllers in high availability storage configurations are made to appear as individual storage target devices to a host system. Each controller owns certain volumes of data storage. When a host system sends a request to identify available data volumes, the controller that owns certain volumes provides preferred paths to those owned volumes. The host system may also send an inquiry to a controller that asks the controller about data volumes not owned by the controller. For such inquiries, no paths to the non-owned data volumes are returned to the host system.
