Abstract
Techniques for improved replication of storage arrays in data storage systems. For example, a method comprises the following steps. A first set of physical storage devices in a data storage system are identified for replication. Specification is received from a user of at least one storage pool in the data storage system in accordance with which the first set of physical storage devices is to be replicated. A second set of physical storage devices is allocated from the user-specified storage pool. Data stored on the first set of physical storage devices is replicated onto the second set of physical storage devices.
