Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, a computer program product and apparatus for processing transactions in a synchronized replication system, wherein the method comprises, at a source site in the synchronized replication system: serializing commits of transactions in the synchronized replication system so that only one of the transactions can be committed at the same time; in response to initiating the commit of the one transaction, generating a log for each of transactions that are ongoing in the synchronized replication system, so as to record impact of all operations of a respective transaction on the synchronized replication system; marking transactions for which the logs have been generated; and completing commits of the marked transactions.

Processing transactions in a synchronized replication system

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and device for a storage system. The method may include: replicating, through a first replication process, data in a first storage device to a second storage device to obtain a data replica; replicating, through a second replication process, metadata of the data to the second storage device to obtain a first metadata replica; replicating, in the second storage device through a third replication process, the first metadata replica to obtain a second metadata replica; and performing data recovery based on the data replica and the second metadata replica.

Method and device for storage system

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a computer program product, a system and a method for providing access to storage resources by receiving a user selection of one or more of a plurality of source storage resources; establishing corresponding backup storage resources for the selected one or more source storage resources.

Providing access to resources

The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for a storage system. The storage system includes an active storage site and a standby storage site, and a logical unit number LUN for a storage pool of the active storage site is replicated to a LUN for a storage pool of the standby storage site to form a consistency group. The method comprises: creating a first LUN and a second LUN as mirrors of each other at the active storage site and the standby storage site, respectively; adding the mirrors formed by the first LUN and the second LUN to the consistency group; after the second LUN is added to the storage pool of the standby storage site, adding the first LUN to the storage pool of the active storage site.

Method and apparatus for storage system

There is provided a method and device for recovering data replication between storage devices. The method comprises: creating mirrored pairs between logical units of a primary storage device and logical units of a secondary storage device; in response to the primary storage device recovering from an interruption state to a normal state, re-creating the mirrored pairs based on one or more replication sessions between the logical units of the primary storage device and the logical units of the secondary storage device stored before interruption; and replicating data to the primary storage device based on the re-created mirrored pairs.
