Abstract
Embodiments for optimizing resource consumption through partial parity information eviction in a storage system of a data storage environment. One or more cooperative Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) parity computations are performed by evicting partial parity data from a RAID controller memory to a storage entity prior to a full stripes worth of data being monotonically written to the storage entity. The storage entity assembles the partial parity data from the one or more cooperative RAID parity computations into a single parity computation valid for the full stripes worth of data, thereby offloading parity computation to the storage entity to more efficiently utilize the RAID controller memory resources.
