Abstract
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for controlling restoration of a storage aggregate. For example, a local storage device, located at a first storage site, and a remote storage device, located at a second storage site, may be assigned to a first storage aggregate. Responsive to a disaster of the first storage site, a gate may be created for the local storage device. The gate may block automated reconstruction and/or automated synchronization that may otherwise occur with respect to the local storage device. Until the local storage device is restored, the remote storage device may be used to service I/O requests that were otherwise directed to the local storage device. Responsive to receiving a user restoration command, the gate may be removed from the local storage device. Synchronization between the local storage device and the remote storage device may then be facilitated.
