Abstract
In one embodiment, a method comprises maintaining state information regarding a data synchronous replication status for a storage object of a primary storage cluster and a replicated storage object of a secondary storage cluster. The method includes temporarily disallowing input/output (I/O) operations for the storage object when the storage object of the primary storage cluster has a failure, which causes an internal state as out of sync for the storage object while maintaining an external state as in sync for external entities. The method performs persistent inflight tracking and reconciliation of I/O operations with a first Op log of the primary storage cluster and a second Op log of the secondary storage cluster and performs a resynchronization between the storage object and the replicated storage object based on the persistent inflight tracking and reconciliation of I/O operations.
