Abstract
An embodiment provisions a Validation Area within a consistency group of a primary site and a Validation Area within a consistency group of a secondary site. The embodiment provisions a Validation Writer in the primary site and provisions a Validation Reader in the secondary site; the Validation Writer writes a validation metric into the Validation Area in the primary site at an interval determined by a recovery point objective. The embodiment also reads the validation metric by the Validation Reader in the secondary site, computes a validation result based on the validation metric, the recovery point objective and a recovery point time delta where the validation result comprises an outcome of a replication of the primary site to the secondary site where the Validation Area of the primary site, the Validation Area of the secondary site, the Validation Writer and the Validation Reader are storage and application agnostic.
