Patent attributes
An aspect of performing rollback of a snapshot between a source storage system and a target storage system in a synchronous replication session includes reassigning a current replication source volume to a rollback source snapshot. The rollback source snapshot is generated for a consistency group that includes a plurality of volumes. An aspect also includes performing, for one or more snapshot trees maintained for the consistency group, a differential scan between a child of the rollback source snapshot and the current replication source volume, and calculating, from results of the differential scan, a dirty tree differential. For each difference identified in the dirty tree differential, an aspect further includes calculating a corresponding volume offset, and initiating a copy command for the current replication source volume and the rollback source snapshot. The copy command is translated to a remote metadata copy request in synchronous replication data transfer.
