Abstract
System and method for managing storage replication consistency groups for storage objects of processing entities uses a replication group identifier for a storage replication consistency group received from a storage interface manager of a storage system with multiple computer data storage devices. The replication group identifier is received when a creation request for a new logical storage unit for a processing entity is transmitted from a host computer to the storage interface manager. The replication group identifier can then be used to request additional logical storage units that will be assigned to the same storage replication consistency group.
