Abstract
Techniques for dynamically detecting objects that are out of sync in an active mirrored environment are provided. A request is received at a local node of an active mirroring environment from a system function to perform a change operation on an object. Upon determining that the object is OOS, it is determined whether the local node or a remote node of the active mirroring environment has the most recent changes for the object. In one embodiment, the determination includes analyzing corresponding time stamps of changes listed in a repository of changes for objects in the mirrored environment. Upon determining that a remote node has the most recent changes for the object, a blocking attribute is set and the requested operation on the object blocked. However, upon determining that the local node has the most recent changes for the object, a tracking attribute is set and the requested operation allowed.
