Recovery support techniques for storage virtualization environments are described. In one embodiment, for example, a method may be performed that comprises defining, by processing circuitry, a storage container comprising one or more logical storage volumes of a logical storage array of a storage system, associating the storage container with a virtual volume (vvol) datastore, identifying metadata for a vvol of the vvol datastore, and writing the metadata for the vvol to the storage system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Recovery support techniques for storage virtualization environments

In some examples, a first storage system receives a transfer of a synchronous replication role and an asynchronous replication role of a second storage system to the first storage system, where in the synchronous replication role the second storage system is to synchronously replicate data to the first storage system, and in the asynchronous replication role the second storage system is to asynchronously replicate a first data storage object to a third storage system. The first storage system uses, at the first storage system, translation information to identify a second data storage object that the second storage system is to asynchronously replicate to the third storage system following the transfer.
