How can a client non-disruptively access a volume that has been moved to a different node within a cluster?

A client can non-disruptively access a volume that has been moved to a different node within a cluster through an indirect path over the cluster interconnect. This is because cluster interconnects facilitate communication between nodes in the cluster, allowing clients to access resources (such as volumes) that may have been relocated to another node.

When a volume is moved, the data remains accessible without requiring any reconfiguration or interruption of service for the client. The underlying architecture of a cluster typically ensures that all nodes are aware of the current location of resources and can route data through the cluster interconnect. This means that clients can still reach the moved volume seamlessly, leveraging the existing redundancy and load balancing capabilities of the cluster.

Accessing the volume directly from the client or initiating a new connection isn’t necessary in this case, as the cluster interconnect is designed precisely to handle such scenarios, maintaining continuous availability and reducing the complexity for clients.
