Abstract
In some examples, a system detects recovery, from an unavailable state, of a communication link between a first storage system that includes a first storage volume and a second storage system that includes a second storage volume that is to be a synchronized version of the first storage volume, where while the communication link is in the unavailable state the second storage volume is in an offline state and the first storage volume is in an online state. In response to detecting the recovery of the communication link, the system sends a first tracking metadata for the first storage volume from the first storage system to the second storage system, and in response to receipt of the first tracking metadata at the second storage system that maintains a second tracking metadata for the second storage volume, the system transitions the second storage volume from the offline state to a controlled online state, and initiates a synchronization process to synchronize the second storage volume with the first storage volume.
