Abstract
A technique for managing replication of VSPs (Virtualized Storage Processors) proceeds on a per-VSP basis by (i) identifying the data objects associated with a VSP, (ii) establishing a common set of replication settings across all of the data objects associated with the VSP, and (iii) replicating the VSP by replicating each of the identified data objects associated with the VSP in accordance with the common set of replication settings established across all of the data objects associated with the VSP. The technique avoids the need for administrators to separately configure and manage replication on large numbers of individual data objects and thus reduces administrative burdens.
