Abstract
Techniques for supporting replication and recovery of virtual volumes are provided. In various embodiments, these techniques can include workflows and application programming interfaces (APIs) that facilitate: (1) the provisioning of virtual volumes with metadata indicating that the virtual volumes should be replicated from one virtual volume-enabled storage array/site to another; (2) the discovery of a replication topology across virtual volume-enabled storage arrays/sites; (3) the orchestration of a test failover of a set of virtual volumes; and (4) the orchestration of an actual failover of a set of virtual volumes.
