Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computing system for providing on-demand high-availability service on a storage cluster. A new single-node appliance is added to the storage cluster, the storage cluster includes one or more original single-node appliances and an internal remote system configured to facilitate intra-cluster orchestration operation. A remote system object representing the new single-node appliance is generated in the internal remote system. An appliance identifier for the remote system object representing the new single-node appliance is determined. In response to determining that the appliance identifier is a non-zero appliance identifier, an internal remote session between the remote system object and the storage cluster is established. The one or more original single-node appliances and the new single-node appliance are presented as a unified system. Protected storage volumes are provisioned on any of the single-node appliances included in the unified system.
