Abstract
Storage device swap in a multiple computing cluster environment using cross system communication includes sending, by a first host device of a first computing cluster of a plurality of computing clusters, a swap trigger command to one or more storage devices shared across the plurality of computing clusters indicating that a swap event is to be triggered. The swap trigger command identifies the one or more storage devices to participate in the swap event. The first host device receives a signal to trigger the swap event from a storage controller associated with the one or more storage devices, a signal to trigger the swap event.
