Abstract:
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for identifying configuration inconsistencies between storage virtual machines across storage clusters. For example, a first storage cluster and a second storage cluster may be configured according to a disaster recovery relationship where user data and configuration data of the first storage cluster are replicated to the second storage cluster so that the second storage cluster can takeover for the first storage cluster in the event a disaster occurs at the first storage cluster. Because replication of configuration data (e.g., a name and size of a volume, a backup policy, etc.) may fail for various reasons, configuration of the first storage cluster is compared to configuration of the second storage cluster to identify a configuration difference (e.g., a new size of the volume at the first storage cluster may have failed to be replicated to a replicated volume at the second storage cluster).
