Abstract
Selective communication protocol layering for synchronous replication, including: initiating, by a first storage system issuing a command in accordance with a first communication protocol, a connection specifying the first storage system to be a target of storage content from a second storage system; receiving, from the second storage system by the first storage system, a connection request in accordance with the first communication protocol, wherein the connection request specifies the first storage system to be a source of storage content to the second storage system; and based on both initiating the connection and receiving the connection request in accordance with the first communication protocol: establishing, by the first storage system and in accordance with a second communication protocol, both a connection for receiving storage content from the second storage system and a connection for sending storage content to the second storage system.
