Abstract
A technique performs replication. The technique involves receiving, by processing circuitry, a virtual storage processor (VSP) replication command from a user. The VSP replication command specifies a source VSP and a destination VSP (e.g., configuration data which defines an operating environment). The technique further involves identifying, by the processing circuitry and in response to the VSP replication command, multiple source data objects which are configured to store data from the context of the source VSP. The technique further involves automatically creating, after the multiple source data objects are identified, multiple replication sessions to replicate the multiple source data objects as multiple destination data objects which are configured to store data from the context of the destination VSP. Once created, the entire lifecycle of the replication session occurs at the VSP level and replication of the internals of the VSP are entirely hidden from the end user.
