1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a processor component of a first node, the first node coupled to a first storage device storing client device data;

    an access component for execution by the processor component to perform a command on the first storage device, the command comprising a data access command to alter the client device data stored in the first storage device and in a second storage device couple to a second node;

    a replication component for execution by the processor component to exchange a replica of the command with the second node via a communications session formed between the first and second nodes to enable at least a partially parallel performance of the command by the first and second nodes; and

    a multipath component for execution by the processor component to change a state of the communications session from inactive to active to enable the exchange of the replica through the communication session based on an indication of a failure within a third node coupled to the first node that precludes performance of the command by the third node.
