Abstract

Provided are techniques for role reversal of primary and secondary sites with minimal replication delay. During a backup phase, an Input/Output (I/O) operation selected from a group comprising a create operation and a rename operation is received with one or more local attributes of a local file. The I/O operation is processed to generate one or more remote attributes. The one or more local attributes are stored with the one or more remote attributes. During a reversed phase, a write operation for the remote file is processed, and, the write operation is sent to the primary replication system with the one or more local attributes, where the primary replication system uses a local file handle in the one or more local attributes to access the local file for processing the write operation to sync the local file with the remote file.
