Processing device configured for data integrity testing utilizing replicated test metadata file

A method comprising:

• scheduling generation of a point-in-time replica of one or more logical storage volumes of a storage system;
• generating a test metadata file for a data integrity test to be performed utilizing the point-in-time replica;
• and
• storing the test metadata file in at least one of the one or more logical storage volumes for which the point-in-time replica is to be generated;
• wherein the one or more logical storage volumes form at least a portion of a replication consistency group with the replication consistency group being defined to include the test metadata file as at least a portion of a particular one of the one or more logical storage volumes;
• and
• wherein the method is implemented by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes said at least one processing device:

• to schedule generation of a point-in-time replica of one or more logical storage volumes of a storage system;
• to generate a test metadata file for a data integrity test to be performed utilizing the point-in-time replica;
• and
• to store the test metadata file in at least one of the one or more logical storage volumes for which the point-in-time replica is to be generated;
• wherein the one or more logical storage volumes form at least a portion of a replication consistency group with the replication consistency group being defined to include the test metadata file as at least a portion of a particular one of the one or more logical storage volumes.
