A method and apparatus for performing remote data replication. The method and apparatus can detect an interruption in the remote data replication process and begin local logging of all local data writes that occur while the remote data replication process is unavailable. The method and apparatus can perform remote data replication across multiple remote storage devices or the method and apparatus can replicate a data structure from a first storage device to multiple locations on one or more remote storage devices. In addition, the method and apparatus can halt the remote data replication and copy data from the local storage device to the remote storage device to ensure data uniformity on all storage devices.

Storage network data replicator

A storage system which supports distributed management of client configurations by storing such configuration information for a number of products across the storage network in a central repository is provided. The system further includes an external parser configuration file to provide a framework allowing users to access configuration data. The parser is separate from the configuration information repository. The parser is key-driven and extensible, facilitating programming, updates and modifications without modifying the binary library containing the configuration information.
