Abstract:
method and apparatus for synchronizing replicated data in a storage network. In an embodiment, a method begins by a processing module of a computing device identifying a first storage set and a second storage set for replicated storage of a data object. The processing module initiates storage of the data object in both the first and second storage sets, and further maintains a synchronization status for the data object. The processing module determines, based at least in part on the synchronization status, to resynchronize the first storage set and the second storage set. In response to determining to resynchronize the first storage set and the second storage set, the processing module identifies a latest available revision of the data object, determines that the second storage set requires the latest available revision of the data object to maintain synchronization, and facilitates storage of the identified latest available revision of the data object in the second storage set.
