Abstract
A storage system in one embodiment comprises a plurality of storage devices and a storage controller. The storage system is configured to operate as a source storage system in a replication process in which participation of a target storage system is simulated. In conjunction with the replication process, the source storage system is configured to monitor outbound replication messages, and responsive to a given one of the replication messages being designated for transmission over a particular communication link of a predetermined type, to generate a simulated response from the target storage system to the given replication message based at least in part on one or more simulation parameters specified for the replication process. The source storage system then processes the simulated response as if it were an actual response from the target storage system. The particular communication link of a predetermined type illustratively comprises a pseudo IP link.
