Isolating data storage mirroring operations

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for isolating mirroring operations when interacting with a data storage space, and more specifically to directing data to be stored in two locations, where storing the data in the second location does not slow or impede storing the data in the first location. Upon receiving a request to store data, the system can determine a first storage space and a second storage space in which to store the data. Instructions can be prepared for storing the data in the first storage space while at the same time preparing instructions for storing identical data in the second storage space. The system can communicate the instructions to both storage systems, with the first storage space immediately beginning the storage process while the second storage space places the instructions into a queue for later processing.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, instructions to store data in a first storage space, which data is to be mirrored to a second storage space; preparing, by a processor, first instructions for storing the data in the first storage space, and second instructions for also storing the data in the second storage space; communicating, by a processor, the first instructions to the first storage space to initiate storage of the data in the first storage space; and communicating, by a processor, the second instructions to a queue to be executed for storing the data in the second storage space at a subsequent time upon a predefined condition being met.
