Managing manifests for replication

A method for managing manifests for replication, the method comprising:

• tagging each of a plurality of transactions from a host to an origination node in a source array with a replication ticket, wherein the replication ticket groups the transactions into a subset;
• tagging each of a plurality of transactions with an index number to correlate transactions within the subset;
• selecting a target node in a destination array for the plurality of transactions;
• transmitting the plurality of transactions to the target node;
• creating a subset manifest for the transactions;
• and
• sending the subset manifest to the target node.

A system for managing manifests for replication, the system comprising:

• a plurality of origination nodes forming a source array;
• a remote copy ticket dispenser to provide a replication ticket for a transaction to be grouped with other transactions and replicated to a destination array;
• and
• a transaction communicator to send transactions to the destination array.

A non-transitory, machine readable medium comprising code to managing manifests for replication by directing a processor to:

• receive a transaction in a source array that is to be replicated to a destination array;
• request a replication ticket for the transaction from a remote copy ticket dispenser, wherein the replication ticket comprises a sequence number and replication group;
• and
• associate the transactions into sets based, at least in part, on the ticket number.
