Abstract
A rack-power control module (RPC) module is used for allowing a local storage partition, located on a local server, for controlling a destination storage partition, located on a destination server, by piggybacking commands on power alerts issued by the RPC module in a clustered storage system. The commands are sent from the local storage partition to the RPC module, where the commands are RPC commands and include a destination server identification (ID) and payload data that includes a hypervisor command containing a command type, a subtype, and a destination ID. The RPC module then parses the commands received from the local storage partition.
