ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: receiving, at a virtualizer, a write command from an initiator in a storage area network, wherein the storage area network includes the initiator and a plurality of mirrored storages; sending, from the virtualizer, a write command to the plurality of mirrored storages; receiving, at the virtualizer, a transfer ready message from a first of the plurality of mirrored storages; sending a transfer ready message from the virtualizer to the initiator in response to the receiving of the transfer ready message from the first of the plurality of mirrored storages; receiving, at the virtualizer, a data message from the initiator; and sending, from the virtualizer, a data message to the plurality of mirrored storage once transfer ready messages have been received from each of the plurality of mirrored storages.
