TIMESTAMP CONSISTENCY FOR SYNCHRONOUS REPLICATION

Abstract:

Techniques are provided for timestamp consistency. An operation targeting a first storage object having a synchronous replication relationship with a second storage object is intercepted. A timestamp is assigned to the operation. A replication operation is created as a replication of the operation. The same timestamp is assigned to the replication operation. The operation is implemented upon the first storage object and the replication operation is implemented upon the second storage object.
