Abstract

Techniques can include: configuring a metro volume for bi-directional synchronous replication from a volume pair (V1A, V2), where V1A is included in a migration site and V2 is included in a non-migration site; and performing migration processing to migrate V1A to V1B of the migration site. The migration processing can include: internally assigning the migration site a non-preferred role and the non-migration site a preferred role; pausing the metro volume including fracturing the metro volume; removing access to the metro volume through the migration site having the non-preferred role whereby all I/Os directed to the metro volume from the external clients are directed to the non-migration site having the preferred role; after V1A and V1B are synchronized in terms of content, enabling the metro volume for bi-directional synchronous replication from a second volume pair (V1B, V2); providing access to the metro volume configured as the second volume pair.
