Abstract
A technique for deploying virtual volumes in a metro cluster across first and second arrays includes impersonating a third array that purports to host single-site virtual volumes. The technique further includes mapping the single-site virtual volumes purportedly hosted by the third array to respective pairs of actual virtual volumes. Each pair includes a first virtual volume in the first array and a second virtual volume in the second array and realizes a stretched virtual volume, with writes being mirrored between the virtual volumes of each pair.
