Dynamic replication error retry and recovery

1. A computer-executable method of managing replication within a data storage system, the computer-executable method comprising:

receiving an error related to a replication session within the data storage system;

analyzing the error;

based on the analysis, determining whether to retry the replication session;

upon a positive determination, calculating a first time interval for the replication session;

retrying the replication session upon completion of the first time interval; and

wherein the first time interval for the replication session is calculated using a recover point objective and based on whether previous errors have been received in relation to the replication session.

2. The computer-executable method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing comprises:

determining a type of the error, wherein the error is enabled to be temporary or permanent.

3. The computer-executable method of claim 2 , wherein the determining comprises making a positive determination if the error is temporary.

4. The computer-executable method of claim 2 , wherein the determining comprises making a negative determination if the error is permanent.

5. The computer-executable method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a second error related to the replication session;

analyzing the second error;

based on the analysis of the second error, determining whether to retry the replication session;

upon a positive determination, calculating a second time interval for the replication session;

retrying the replication session upon completion of the second time interval.

6. The computer-executable method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving notification of a major system event; and

retrying replication sessions currently paused due to the associated time interval.

7. A system, comprising:

a data storage system; and

computer-executable program logic encoded in memory of one or more computers enabled to manage replication within the data storage system, wherein the computer-executable program logic is configured for the execution of:

receiving an error related to a replication session within the data storage system;

analyzing the error;

based on the analysis, determining whether to retry the replication session;

upon a positive determination, calculating a first time interval for the replication session;

retrying the replication session upon completion of the first time interval; and

wherein the first time interval for the replication session is calculated using a recover point objective and based on whether previous errors have been received in relation to the replication session.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein analyzing comprises:

determining a type of the error, wherein the error is enabled to be temporary or permanent.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the determining comprises making a positive determination if the error is temporary.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the determining comprises making a negative determination if the error is permanent.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the computer-executable program logic is further configured for the execution of:

receiving a second error related to the replication session;

analyzing the second error;

based on the analysis of the second error, determining whether to retry the replication session;

upon a positive determination, calculating a second time interval for the replication session;

retrying the replication session upon completion of the second time interval.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the computer-executable program logic is further configured for the execution of:

receiving notification of a major system event; and

retrying replication sessions currently paused due to the associated time interval.

13. A computer program product for managing replication within a data storage system, the computer program product comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with computer-executable code, wherein the code is configured to enable the execution of:

receiving an error related to a replication session within the data storage system;

analyzing the error;

based on the analysis, determining whether to retry the replication session;

upon a positive determination, calculating a first time interval for the replication session;

retrying the replication session upon completion of the first time interval; and

wherein the first time interval for the replication session is calculated using a recover point objective and based on whether previous errors have been received in relation to the replication session.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein analyzing comprises:

determining a type of the error, wherein the error is enabled to be temporary or permanent.

15. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the determining comprises making a positive determination if the error is temporary.

16. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the determining comprises making a negative determination if the error is permanent.

17. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the code is further configured to enable the execution of:

receiving a second error related to the replication session;

analyzing the second error;

based on the analysis of the second error, determining whether to retry the replication session;

upon a positive determination, calculating a second time interval for the replication session;

retrying the replication session upon completion of the second time interval.

18. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the code is further configured to enable the execution of:

receiving notification of a major system event; and

retrying replication sessions currently paused due to the associated time interval.
