Abstract
A system implements a method to non-disruptive restoration of storage services provided by a storage volume of the system. Upon detecting a disruption of storage services at the storage volume, the method freezes the input/output (I/O) operations of applications that are accessing the storage volume. The disrupted storage services are restored. And the configurations of the storage volume are maintained during restoration of the disrupted storage services. Afterward, the frozen I/O operations are activated, allowing the applications to continue their accessing of the storage volume.
