US Patent 12072795 Providing access to a namespace via multiple storage arrays

A technique of providing access to a namespace via multiple storage arrays involves providing access to the namespace from a nonvolatile memory (NVM) subsystem while the NVM subsystem is hosted on a first storage array. The technique further involves, after providing access to the namespace from the NVM subsystem while the NVM subsystem is hosted on the first storage array, performing a stretch operation to concurrently host the NVM subsystem on the first storage array and a second storage array. The technique further involves, after performing the stretch operation, providing access to the namespace from the NVM subsystem while the NVM subsystem is concurrently hosted on the first storage array and the second storage array. Accordingly, the namespace is now accessibly via either storage array.
