    Abstract: Improved techniques for disaster recovery of storage service accessible through storage area networks are disclosed. Embodiments include establishing peer relationships between nodes of primary and secondary computing clusters. Configuration information is replicated in near synchronous manner from a primary cluster and used to configure a secondary cluster in a similar manner. Host data is replicated in synchronous manner for all the storage devices and LUNs within them. The secondary cluster is kept updated continuously with configuration information and user data in LUNs on storage devices such that a host may be served data from the secondary cluster when the primary cluster experiences a disaster or failure. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Data consistency and availability can be provided at the granularity of logical storage objects in storage solutions that use storage virtualization in clustered storage environments. To ensure consistency of data across different storage elements, synchronization is performed across the different storage elements. Changes to data are synchronized across storage elements in different clusters by propagating the changes from a primary logical storage object to a secondary logical storage object. To satisfy the strictest RPOs while maintaining performance, change requests are intercepted prior to being sent to a filesystem that hosts the primary logical storage object and propagated to a different managing storage element associated with the secondary logical storage object.

    Abstract translation: 可以在集群存储环境中使用存储虚拟化的存储解决方案中的逻辑存储对象的粒度提供数据一致性和可用性。 为了确保不同存储元件之间的数据的一致性,跨不同存储元件执行同步。 通过将更改从主逻辑存储对象传播到辅助逻辑存储对象,对数据的更改在不同群集中的存储元素之间进行同步。 为了在维护性能的同时满足最严格的RPO,在发送到托管主逻辑存储对象的文件系统之前,更改请求将被拦截,并传播到与辅助逻辑存储对象关联的其他管理存储元素。
