Abstract
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and source storage server computing device that mirrors dirty data to a destination storage server. The dirty data corresponds to storage operations not yet committed to one or more data storage devices of an aggregate to be transitioned. Ownership of the data storage devices is released. Teardown processing for the aggregate is performed subsequent to releasing ownership of the data storage devices. With this technology, the flushing or committing of dirty data to data storage devices is performed by a destination storage server after a data container is transitioned to the destination storage server. Additionally, non-critical teardown processing is also performed after a data container or aggregate is transitioned to the destination storage server. Accordingly, the duration of planned data container transitions can advantageously be reduced and aggregates can be brought online by a destination storage server for data access by applications more quickly.
