Abstract
Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for replication in storage systems. One embodiment includes a method that uses a target port on a storage array to function as an initiator port on a host in a storage area network (SAN). The target port discovers storage arrays in the SAN and mimics an initiator port to transmit input/output (I/O) requests.
