Abstract
Methods, computer-readable media, and computer systems are provided for initiating storage of data on multiple storage devices and confirming storage of the data after the data has been stored on one but not necessarily all of the devices. A storage server receives, from a client, a request to store data. In response to the request, the storage server initiates, in parallel, storage of the data on multiple storage systems. The storage server detects that the data has been stored on any one of the storage systems, such as an auxiliary system, and, in response, indicates, to the client, that the data has been stored. The storage server may flush or discard data on the auxiliary storage system upon detecting that the data has been successfully stored on a target storage system, where the data persists.
