SYNCHRONIZING UPDATES ACROSS CLUSTER FILESYSTEMS

摘要

Embodiments of the invention relate to synchronization of data in a shared pool of configurable computer resources. An image of the filesystem changes, including data and metadata, is captured in the form of a consistency point. Sequential consistency points are created, with changes to data and metadata in the filesystem between sequential consistency captured and placed in a queue for communication to a target filesystem at a target site. The changes are communicated as a filesystem operation, with the communication limited to the changes captured and reflected in the consistency point.
