Synchronous replication between storage systems with virtualized storage includes: assigning a virtual volume datastore to a pod, the pod including a management object, the virtual volume datastore including virtual machine data; stretching the pod from a first storage system to a second storage system, including copying the virtual machine data from the first storage system to the second storage system; and synchronously replicating access operations of the virtual machine data of the pod between the first and second storage systems.

Virtual volume-based replication

A recovery storage system asynchronously protecting a synchronously replicated dataset, where the asynchronous protection of the synchronously replicated dataset includes: receiving, by a recovery storage system, an identifier of a synchronously replicated dataset, wherein the synchronously replicated dataset is a dataset synchronously replicated across the plurality of storage systems; asynchronously replicating, on the recovery storage system, the synchronously replicated dataset from the plurality of storage systems; detecting that each dataset in the synchronously replicated dataset on the plurality of storage systems has become unavailable; and restoring the dataset on the recovery storage system.

Asynchronously protecting a synchronously replicated dataset

Synchronously replicating data using virtual volumes

Reversing deletion of a virtual machine including managing, by a storage system, a repository of virtual machine snapshots on a datastore; receiving, by the storage system, a request to recover a deleted virtual machine from the datastore; accessing, by the storage system, the repository of virtual machine snapshots on the datastore to generate a list of deleted virtual machines associated with virtual machine snapshots in the repository of virtual machine snapshots; receiving, by the storage system, a selection of one of the deleted virtual machines in the list of deleted virtual machines; and recovering, by the storage system, the selected deleted virtual machine using a virtual machine snapshot for the selected deleted virtual machine.
