According to one embodiment, a secondary primary storage system monitors replicated data received from a primary storage system, where the primary storage system provides primary storage services to a host device and the second storage system operates as a redundant storage system. In response to determining that no replicated data has been received from the primary storage system over a first predetermined period of time, the secondary primary storage system determines an amount of read/write data requests have been received from the host device for a second period of time. The secondary primary storage system transitions into a second primary storage system in response to determining the amount of read/write data requests received from the host exceeds a predetermined threshold.
