Abstract:
One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for replicating virtual machine disk clones. For example, a first storage controller, hosting first storage, may have a synchronous replication relationship with a second storage controller hosting second storage. A virtual machine, within the first storage, may be specified as having synchronous replication protection. Accordingly, virtual machine disk clones of a virtual machine disk of the virtual machine may be replicated from the first storage to the second storage. For example, virtual machine disk clones may be synchronous replicated, replicated by a resync process invoked by a hypervisor agent, and/or stored and replicated from a clone backup directory.
