SYNCHRONIZATION OF SEQUENTIAL ACCESS STORAGE COMPONENTS WITH BACKUP CATALOG
First Claim
1. A method for synchronization of source and replicated instances of sequential access storage components with a backup catalog in a computing environment by a processor device, comprising:
- subsequent to a storage operation performed on the source instance by a source component, sending a synchronization message to a replicated component for the replicated instance, wherein the synchronization message is stored locally in a persistent storage location associated with the source component along with an indicator representative of a time the storage operation was performed; and
pursuant to receipt of the synchronization message by the replicated component, updating the replicated component to a dirty state to indicate a lack of full synchronization between the source and replicated instances.

Abstract
Subsequent to a storage operation performed on the source instance by a source component, a synchronization message is sent to a replicated component for the replicated instance. The synchronization message is stored locally in a persistent storage location associated with the source component along with an indicator representative of a time the storage operation was performed. Pursuant to receipt of the synchronization message by the replicated component, the replicated component is updated to a dirty state to indicate a lack of full synchronization between the source and replicated instances.

10. A system for synchronization of source and replicated instances of sequential access storage components with a backup catalog in a computing environment, comprising:
at least one processor device operable in the computing environment, the at least one processor in communication with a source component and a replicated component, wherein the at least one processor device; subsequent to a storage operation performed on the source instance by the source component, sends a synchronization message to the replicated component for the replicated instance, wherein the synchronization message is stored locally in a persistent storage location associated with the source component along with an indicator representative of a time the storage operation was performed, and pursuant to receipt of the synchronization message by the replicated component, updates the replicated component to a dirty state to indicate a lack of full synchronization between the source and replicated instances. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer program product for synchronization of source and replicated instances of sequential access storage components with a backup catalog in a computing environment by a processor device, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
-
a first executable portion that, subsequent to a storage operation performed on the source instance by a source component, sends a synchronization message to a replicated component for the replicated instance, wherein the synchronization message is stored locally in a persistent storage location associated with the source component along with an indicator representative of a time the storage operation was performed; and a second executable portion for, pursuant to receipt of the synchronization message by the replicated component, updates the replicated component to a dirty state to indicate a lack of full synchronization between the source and replicated instances. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
