Synchronizing configuration of partner objects across distributed storage systems using transformations

摘要

A configuration for a component of a primary node is synchronized with a configuration for a component of a partner node in a different cluster by replicating the primary node configuration with the partner node. A baseline configuration replication comprises a snapshot of a component configuration on the primary. The baseline configuration can be generated by traversing through the configuration objects, capturing their attributes and encapsulating them in a package. The baseline package can then be transferred to the partner node. The configuration objects can be applied on the partner node in the order in which they were captured on the primary node. Attributes of the configuration objects are identified that are to be transformed. Values for the identified attributes are transformed from a name space in the primary node to a name space in the partner node.
