Content upload priorities

When content is uploaded to a site, the advanced storage area selects the replicas to which to upload the content synchronously, in the following priority order:

  1. Selects a single site-local replica (primary or secondary) with preference for primary. However, if there is no primary designated for the local site, it selects the secondary on the local site before it selects a primary on a remote site.
  2. Until the desired number of synchronous replicas are met, continue to select replicas in the following order:
    • Local site primary replicas
    • Remote site primary replicas
    • Local site secondary replicas
    • Remote site secondary replicas
  3. After this selection mechanism, if the required number of synchronous replicas are not met, then fail the upload.

Any failure in the synchronous upload to any of the selected replicas forces reevaluation of the replica priorities, and automatic failover takes place. If the required number of replicas is achieved for synchronous upload, the upload succeeds. All remaining replicas use the asynchronous upload mechanism. Content is uploaded to all the replicas set on the connections in the advanced storage area.
