Abstract
Presented herein is functionality for using a recovery computing system to perform a failover where the recovery computing system is communicatively coupled to a homogeneous and/or heterogeneous primary computing system. In one embodiment, this functionality allows the recovery computing system to disconnect a first recovery application node from a contiguous storage volume after the contiguous storage volume had been created by the first recovery application node, and to then use a recovery gateway node to store replicated data on the continguous storage volume, where the recovery gateway node and the contiguous storage volume are both coupled to the recovery computing system. In response to detecting a failure on the primary computing system, performing a failover to the recovery computing system, where performing the failover comprises attaching the contiguous storage volume to a second recovery application node and bringing the second recovery application node online.
