Abstract:
Snapshots from a first LSU (R1) on a first storage system (A1) may be replicated to a second replica LSU (R2) on a second storage system (A2), for example, concurrently to remotely replicating (e.g., synchronously) write operations for R1 to R2. A process, P, on A1 executing the replication of the snapshots from R1 to R2 may be a separate process than the one or more processes on A1 executing remote replication of write operations for R1 to R2. During a consistency window on A1, outstanding write operations for R1 at the time the consistency window opened may be logged, and a pair of snapshots, SS11 and SS12 may be activated on R1 and R2, respectively. After the consistency window has closed, the SS12 snapshot metadata and snapshot data may be updated based on the outstanding write operations.
