Abstract
An example data storage system includes a first storage array having a first LUN and a second storage array having a second LUN. The first and second storage arrays may implement replication from the first LUN as a primary LUN to the second LUN as a secondary LUN. The first and second LUNs may both be an active target for host write I/O. The second storage array may, in response to receiving from a host a write that is directed to the second LUN, send write data of the write to the first storage for replication array while maintaining a copy of the write data in a fenced portion of a cache of the second storage array. The second storage array may wait to release the copy of the write data to the second LUN until a write acknowledgment is received from the first storage array.
