    摘要: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for controlling a first storage system receiving commands from a first and second managers to create a consistency group with a second storage system. Host writes are received at the first storage system, wherein the first storage system includes a first storage system primary site and a first storage system secondary site. The first storage system sends the host writes from the first storage system primary site to the first storage system secondary site. Host write operations are quiesced at the first storage system in response to a first command from a first manager. Host write operations are resumed at the first storage system in response to receiving a second command from the first manager. The first storage system receives a run command with a marker, wherein the marker indicates a cycle number to control the cycles of the first and second storage systems. The first storage system sends the marker from the first storage system primary site to the first storage system secondary site. The first storage system sends the marker to a second manager. The first storage system applies the host writes to the first storage system secondary site. The first storage system sends a first message to the first storage system primary site from the first storage system secondary site after completing the applying of the host writes. The first storage system sends a second message to the first manager indicating whether conformation was received from the first storage system secondary site that the host writes were applied.

    摘要: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for managing consistency groups using heterogeneous replication engines replicating data. A common linkage manager issues a prepare to create consistency group command to a first replication manager and a second replication manager, wherein the first and second replication managers issue create consistency group commands to first and second replication engines, respectively, to form a consistency group of data at a first source storage and a second source storage to copy to a first target storage and second target storage, respectively. The first and second replication managers form a first consistency group and a second consistency group of data from the first and second source storages, respectively, that are consistent as of a point-in-time in response to the create consistency group command; transmitting, by the first and second replication managers, the data in the formed first and second consistency groups to a first journal and second journal, respectively. The first and second replication managers commit the data in the first and second consistency groups in the first and second journals to the first and second target storages, respectively, in response to the first and second replication managers receiving a commit command.

    摘要: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for copying writes from primary storages to secondary storages across different networks. A failure notification is communicated, using a first network protocol, from a primary device in a first group of at least one primary device and at least one corresponding primary storage managed by the at least one primary device to a control system in response to the primary device determining that a write to the primary storage cannot be copied to a corresponding secondary storage. A failure notification is communicated, using a second network protocol, from a primary device in a second group of at least one primary device and at least one corresponding primary storage managed by the at least one primary device to the control system in response to the primary device determining that a write to the corresponding primary storage cannot be copied to a corresponding secondary storage. A freeze command is received, from the control system using the first network protocol at the at least one primary device in the first group. A freeze command is received, from the control system using the second network protocol at the at least one primary device in the second group. The copying of writes from the primary storages in the first and second groups to the corresponding secondary storages is suspended in response to receiving the freeze commands.
