First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for synchronization of source and replicated instances of sequential access storage components in a computing environment by a processor device, comprising:
- updating a replication synchronization table (RST) of a source instance at a source component with compacted information; and
determining, based on the RST of the source instance and the RST of the replicated instance, data representative of a most recent position on the source component from which data should be transmitted to a replicated component to achieve a full synchronization.

Abstract
Various embodiments for synchronization of source and replicated instances of sequential access storage components in a computing environment by a processor device are provided. A replication synchronization table (RST) of a source instance is updated at a source component with the compacted information. Based on the RST of the source instance and the RST of the replicated instance, data representative of a most recent position on the source component from which data should be transmitted to a replicated component to achieve a full synchronization is determined.
