Abstract
A computer-implemented method for adding active volumes to existing replication configurations may include (1) identifying a new volume to be added to an existing replication configuration that replicates a plurality of volumes to a remote storage device, (2) using interchangeable bitmaps to perform an initial synchronization of the new volume with the remote storage device before replicating the new volume to the remote storage device as part of the existing replication configuration, (3) determining that a replication log associated with the replication configuration is capable of flagging future writes by the application to the new volume without overflowing, and, upon making that determination, (4) replicating the new volume to the remote storage device as part of the existing replication configuration. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
