Abstract

A process of recovering from a failure of a solid-state device (SSD) storing a persistent volume (PV) for logging in a cluster network. The PV is recreated on a different SSD that has spare capacity and IOPS resources, and log information is redirected from an application to the relocated PV on the different SSD. Upon replacement of the original failed SSD, the PV can be copied from the different SSD to the new replacement SSD, or the replacement SSD can be left empty, and the relocated PV on the different SSD can continue to be used. This process provides a high degree of redundancy with regard to logging so that a failure of single SSD does not bring down the node or the entire cluster network.
