Managing host definitions across a plurality of storage systems, including: creating, on a first storage system, a host definition describing a host that accesses a dataset that is replicated across a plurality of storage systems; determining whether a second storage system that the dataset is replicated across includes a definition of the host; responsive to determining that the second storage system does not include a definition of the host, copying the host definition created on the first storage system to the second storage system; responsive to determining that the second storage system does include a definition of the host: linking the host definition created on the first storage system to the definition of the host on the second storage system or retaining the definition of the host on the second storage system.
