  • receiving, by a computing device, metadata for a block associated with an object from a source storage node, wherein the metadata comprises at least a source object identifier and the object is associated with a source volume of a source aggregate owned by the source storage node;

    determining, by the computing device, when another block associated with the object has been previously received and obtaining a destination object identifier based on the source object identifier, when the determining indicates that the other block associated with the object has been previously received;

    assigning, by the computing device, a new aggregate block number to the block based on the destination object identifier and another portion of the metadata; and

    transferring, by the computing device, ownership of the source volume upon receipt of an indication of a cutover from the source storage node in order to migrate the source volume to a destination volume of a destination aggregate without moving any user data.
