US Patent 11803571 Transfer of synchronous and asynchronous replication

In some examples, a first storage system receives a transfer of a synchronous replication role and an asynchronous replication role of a second storage system to the first storage system, where in the synchronous replication role the second storage system is to synchronously replicate data to the first storage system, and in the asynchronous replication role the second storage system is to asynchronously replicate a first data storage object to a third storage system. The first storage system uses, at the first storage system, translation information to identify a second data storage object that the second storage system is to asynchronously replicate to the third storage system following the transfer.
