Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes establishing bi-directional synchronous replication between one or more members of a first consistency group (CG1) of a primary storage site and one or more members of a second consistency group (CG2) of a secondary storage site with each storage site having read/write access. The method includes detecting a disruption in a data replication session from one or more members of the CG1 to one or more members of the CG2 due to a disaster event, initiating a consensus establishment request to be sent to a mediator agent of the primary storage site, rejecting with the mediator agent the consensus establishment request, and initiating a role flip process for primary and secondary roles in serving I/O Operations in response to the rejection of the consensus establishment request to reduce an application input/output (I/O) resumption time due to the disaster event.
