Abstract
A storage system memory or memory domain with N memory controllers is organized into N-1 same-size partitions per memory controller or N partitions per memory controller with one partition reserved as spare capacity. The unreserved partitions are assigned to mirror pairs of members such that a first triangular submatrix of a representative matrix of indexed memory controllers and indexed partitions is a transpose of a second triangular submatrix of the representative matrix. The resulting distribution of members is balanced such that additional loading on remaining memory controllers when one of the memory controllers becomes inaccessible is evenly distributed.
