Abstract
Data spillover for storage arrays, including: entering, by a source storage array, in response to determining that an amount of used capacity for the source storage array exceeds a first threshold, a spillover mode; redirecting, in response to the source storage array being in the spillover mode, write operations directed to the source storage array to a target storage array; and exiting the spillover mode by the source storage array, wherein exiting the spillover mode comprises updating data stored on the source storage array to reflect write operations redirected to the target storage array during the spillover mode.
