Abstract
Multi-site distributed storage systems and computer-implemented methods are described for improving a resumption time of input/output (I/O) operations during a common snapshot procedure for storage objects. A computer-implemented method includes initiating a snapshot multi create operation to selectively form a batch of first and second synchronous replicated datasets that belong to a first group of storage disks at the primary storage site and corresponding second group of storage disks at the secondary storage site, performing a batch snapshot create operation on the primary storage site by executing snapshots of storage objects on the primary storage site of the batch of first and second synchronous replicated datasets in parallel multiple threads to effectively utilize processing resources on the primary storage site, and initiating an independent workflow and state machine for each storage object of the batch of first and second synchronous replicated datasets.
