ABSTRACT:
Primary and secondary data processing systems are coupled via a communication system. Data storage in both systems is provided by a log structured array (LSA) system that stores data in compressed form. Each time data are updated within LSA, the updated data are stored in a data storage location different from the original data. Selected data recorded in a primary data storage of the primary system is remote dual copied to the secondary system for congruent storage in a secondary data storage, such as for disaster recovery purposes. The primary systems creates a remote copying session. Within such remote copying session, a series of "pending write update" sessions are ESTABLISHED. All data updated within each pending write update session is a consistency group of data. Within each pending write update session update data are retentively stored in both the primary and secondary systems (such as in a non-volatile cache). Addressability of such update data within a pending write update session is through separate pending write directories. The main (primary and secondary) directory for data is not updated such that all original (not updated) data are addressable. A COMMIT command terminates each pending write update session. Congruence of the sequence of updating in the primary system is maintained in the secondary system updating procedure.
