A method, apparatus, and system for preserving the cache data of redundant storage controllers, by copying the recorded data blocks and the associated cache tags in the primary cache memory of a storage controller to a secondary cache memory of an alternate, redundant storage controller, wherein upon a failure occurring in the primary cache memory of any of the storage controllers, subsequent storage requests from a host, previously intended for processing by the failed storage controller, are processed through the secondary cache memory of a non-failed, redundant storage controller that contains the failed storage's controller cache data and cache tags.
