In an embodiment of the invention, a method and apparatus permits the reliable disk ownership changes. The method and apparatus generate a replay request based on ownership data stored in a persistent memory device, in response to a failure occurrence when ownership is being changed for disks in an aggregate. The method and apparatus will compare an update count in the replay request with an update count in a disk in the aggregate. Based on the comparison of the update count, the ownership on the disk is changed so that each disk in the aggregate will be owned by a same node. The failure occurrence can be, for example, a power failure, a panic occurrence, or a takeover procedure.
