US 2013/0232111 A1 · OPTIMIZING DISASTER RECOVERY SYSTEMS DURING TAKEOVER OPERATIONS

Abstract

Exemplary method, system, and computer program product embodiments for optimizing disaster recovery systems during takeover operations are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only, a flag is set in a replication grid manager to identify replication grid members to consult in a reconciliation process for resolving intersecting and non-intersecting data amongst the disaster recovery systems for a takeover operation. The replication grid members are consulted for the takeover operation to accommodate a coordination of an ownership synchronization process for cartridges not distributed on-time to the replication grid members. Additional system and computer program product embodiments are disclosed and provide related advantages.

Dependent claims

A method for optimizing disaster recovery systems during takeover operations by a processor device in a computing storage environment, the method comprising:

setting a flag in a replication grid manager to identify a plurality of replication grid members to consult in a reconciliation process for resolving intersecting and non-intersecting data amongst a plurality of data storage systems for a takeover operation;
and
performing the consulting with the plurality of replication grid members for the takeover operation to accommodate a coordination of an ownership synchronization process for a plurality of cartridges not distributed on-time to at least one of the plurality of replication grid members.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
