Replication handling during storage system transportation

A storage system comprising:

• one or more storage devices;
• one or more network ports;
• and
• a storage controller comprising a computer processor, wherein the storage controller is configured to:
• replicate, between a first storage system and a second storage system that are both located at a first physical location, a dataset;
• connect, by the first storage system, during movement of the first storage system to a second physical location through a set of intermediate physical locations, to a communication network available at one or more of the intermediate physical locations;
• and
• continue the replicating of the dataset between the first storage system at one or more of the intermediate physical locations and the second storage system at the first physical location, over the communication network available at one or more of the intermediate physical locations.

A computer program product disposed upon a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to carry out the steps of:

• replicating, between a first storage system and a second storage system that are both located at a first physical location, a dataset;
• connecting, by the first storage system, during movement of the first storage system to a second physical location through a set of intermediate physical locations, to a communication network available at one or more of the intermediate physical locations;
• and
• continuing the replicating of the dataset between the first storage system at one or more of the intermediate physical locations and the second storage system at the first physical location, over the communication network available at one or more of the intermediate physical locations.
