Abstract:
Described are techniques for maintaining and using registration and reservation information in an active-active configuration that provides automated data replication of a logical device. Various commands may be issued from one or more hosts to read and modify registration and reservation information in the active-active configuration. Processing is performed to service the various commands and provide a host or client with a consolidated logical view of a data storage system including the logical device where the host is allowed to issue I/Os over multiple paths to the logical device. Depending on the command, such processing may include replicating or mirroring reservation state information between two data storage systems each including a different device configured as the logical device.
