    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing delays between the time at which a need for a resynchronization of data replication between a volume of a local CG and its peer volume of a remote CG is detected and the time at which the resynchronization is triggered (Reseed Time Period) are provided. According to an example, information indicative of the direction of data replication between the volume and the peer volume is maintained within a cache of a node. Responsive to a disruptive operation (e.g., relocation of the volume from an original node to a new node), the Reseed Time Period is lessened by proactively adding a passive cache entry to a cache within the new node at the time the CG relationship is created when the new node represents an HA partner of the original node and prior to the volume coming online when the new node represents a non-HA partner.
