Abstract
Systems and methods which provide for managing multiple mirror resources in a storage distribution network are provided. In some embodiments, a system provides for both high availability and disaster recovery functionality at different mirroring locations. Other embodiments may provide for multiple high availability and/or multiple disaster recovery mirror resources. These mirror resources are operated in a heterogeneous manner in the sense that each have its own transport, protocol, and the like, but are configured function cooperatively or as a single mirror with respect to mirroring a primary node. Embodiments may provide for the mirroring and resynchronization of mirrored resources in the event of a communication loss with a particular resource without ceasing the mirroring operations to other resources.
