Abstract
Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and computing devices that facilitate cache rewarming in a failover domain are disclosed. With this technology, a tag is inserted into a local tagstore. The tag includes a location of data in a cache hosted by a failover computing device and is retrieved from a snapshot of a remote tagstore for the cache. An invalidation log for an aggregate received from the failover computing device is replayed subsequent to mounting a filesystem that is associated with the aggregate and comprises the data. The data is retrieved from the cache following determination of the location from the tag in the local tagstore in order to service a received storage operation associated with the data. Takeover nodes do not have to wait for a cache to repopulate organically, and can leverage the contents of a cache of a failover node to thereby improve performance following takeover events.
