A method for failure detection comprises: checking, at a first time, a state of a local volume that is mirrored at a second location; issuing a change state command to the local volume; checking, at a second time, the state of the local volume after a host at the second location issues a change state command; comparing the state of the local volume at the first time and at the second time; and initiating a fail over procedure if the state of the local volume is different at the second time from the first time. |
