  • Patent number: 9983964
    Abstract: Exemplary 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, including indicating those of the replication grid members that acquired ownership over cartridges belonging to source systems.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8549348
    Abstract: For coordinated disaster recovery, a reconciliation process is performed for resolving intersecting and non-intersecting data amongst disaster recovery systems for takeover operations. An ownership synchronization process is coordinated for replica cartridges via the reconciliation process at the disaster recovery systems. The disaster recovery systems continue as a replication target for source systems and as a backup target for local backup applications.
