Abstract:
One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for non-disruptively establishing a synchronous replication relationship between a primary volume and a secondary volume and/or for resynchronizing the primary volume and the secondary volume. For example, a baseline snapshot and one or more incremental snapshots of the primary volume are used to construct and incrementally update the secondary volume with data from the primary volume. A dirty region log is used to track modifications to the primary volume. A splitter object is used to split client write requests to the primary volume and to the secondary volume. A synchronous transfer engine session is initiated to processing incoming client write requests using the dirty region log. A cutover scanner is used to transfer dirty data from the primary volume to the secondary volume. In this way, a synchronous replication relationship is established between the primary volume and the secondary volume.
