Abstract
Techniques for limiting or reducing storage accessibility 'hiccups' in active-active clustered systems that perform large writes. The techniques can include executing, by a surviving, failover, or rebooted node of an active-active clustered system, a specialized recovery protocol that includes treating each large write request from a host computer as a plurality of small write requests while execution of the specialized recovery protocol is in progress, draining all dedicated sub-ubers for a primary and secondary node of the active-active clustered system, and, having completed execution of the specialized recovery protocol, resuming normal treatment of large write requests from the host computer. In this way, the need and complexity of managing large writes and maintaining their corresponding sub-uber information during recovery from a forced reboot, crash, or disaster involving the primary or secondary node can be avoided, and storage accessibility hiccups due to performing the large writes can be limited or reduced.
