Abstract
A technique preserves replication to a storage node. The technique involves, from a first storage node, sending a replication query to a second storage node. The technique further involves, in response to the replication query sent to the second storage node, receiving replication session data from the second storage node. The replication session data describes replication which has terminated from a third storage node to the second storage node for a particular storage object. The technique further involves, based on the replication session data, establishing replication from the first storage node to the second storage node for the particular storage object to preserve use of the particular storage object.
