Abstract

In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, in a source controller, a signal indicative of a write request to a source volume managed by the source controller in response to the signal: writing data associated with the write request to a destination controller when a connection to the destination controller is available; and setting a synchronization flag associated with the data storage segment managed by the source controller when a connection to the destination controller is unavailable.
