Abstract
A data storage system is disclosed in which a 3-party hand-off protocol is utilized to maintain a single coherent logical image. In particular, the functionality of the data storage system is separated into distinct processing modules. There are at least three types of processing modules. These three kinds of processing modules function cooperatively to perform data storage operations via the 3-party hand-off protocol. At least two types of processing modules are required to cooperate in a hand-off manner to fully execute each data storage operation.
