Abstract

Techniques for resynchronizing storage resources of two sites configured for synchronous replication can include tracking in-progress write requests in a map. Responsive to a site failure or a replication link failure resulting in failure or fracture of the synchronous replication, processing can be performed to resynchronize impacted resources of the two sites configured for synchronous replication. The processing can use the in-progress write requests in combination with resource snapshots and snapshot differences to resynchronize the impacted resource of the two sites. In at least one embodiment, the synchronous replication configuration can include active paths between both sites and a host. In at least one embodiment, the synchronous replication configuration can include an active path between the host and one site, and a passive path between the host and the second site. The synchronous replication can be bi-directional or two-way synchronous replication between the two sites.
