Abstract

See full text

A primary data storage system is linked to a geographically remote secondary data storage system for automatically maintaining a remote copy of the data in the primary storage. The primary data storage system controller uses write pending indicators to control and coordinate the remote copy process. In response to receipt of data from the host computer, a first write pending indicator is set to write the data into at least one primary data storage device, and a second write pending indicator is set to copy the data to the secondary data storage system controller. The first write pending indicator is reset after the data is written to the primary data storage device, and the second write pending indicator is reset after receiving an acknowledgement back from the secondary data storage system controller.
