    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for resynchronization. For example, a request may be received to create pseudo snapshots of a first consistency group, hosted by a first storage controller, and a second consistency group, hosted by a second storage controller, having a synchronous replication relationship with the first consistency group. Incoming client write requests are logged within an intercept tracking log at the first storage controller. After a first drain without hold of incoming write requests is performed, a first pseudo common snapshot of the second consistency group is created. After a second drain without hold of incoming write operations is performed, a second pseudo common snapshot of the first consistency group and the intercept tracking log is created. The pseudo snapshots and the intercept tracking log (e.g., indicating a delta between the pseudo snapshots) are used to resynchronize the first and second consistency groups.

    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.
