Hash-based data recovery from remote storage system responsive to missing or corrupted hash digest

1. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;

the processing device being configured:

to detect an error relating to storage of a given data page in a first storage system;

to send a message to at least one additional storage system, the message containing a hash handle of the given data page with the hash handle having a length that is shorter than that of a corresponding hash digest of the given data page;

to receive from the additional storage system responsive to the message a recovery data page identified by the additional storage system as having the same hash handle as the given data page;

to receive from the additional storage system responsive to the message an address of the recovery data page in the additional storage system;

to verify the recovery data page received from the additional storage system; and

to compare the received address to the address of the given data page in the first storage system in conjunction with verifying the recovery data page;

wherein verifying the recovery data page received from the additional storage system comprises computing a hash digest of the recovery data page, computing a hash handle from the computed hash digest, and comparing the computed hash handle to the hash handle of the given data page.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the processing device is implemented in a host device configured to communicate over a network with the first and additional storage systems.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the processing device is implemented in the first storage system.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein detecting the error relating to storage of the given data page comprises detecting an error relating to the hash digest of the given data page.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the hash digest of the given data page is generated by applying a secure hashing algorithm to content of the given data page in the first storage system.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the hash handle of the given data page is obtained from a logical layer mapping table of the first storage system.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the logical layer mapping table comprises an address-to-hash table that stores logical addresses of one or more storage volumes of the first storage system in association with respective hash handles.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first storage system compares the received address to the address of the given data page in the first storage system in conjunction with verifying the recovery data page.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first storage system utilizes the recovery data page received from the additional storage system to recover from the detected error relating to storage of the given data page.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein separate instances of the message containing the hash handle of the given data page are sent to each of a plurality of additional storage systems.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first and additional storage systems are configured to participate in at least one of:

a synchronous replication process in which one or more storage volumes are synchronously replicated from the first storage system to the additional storage system; and

an asynchronous replication process in which one or more storage volumes are asynchronously replicated from the first storage system to the additional storage system.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the storage volume comprises at least one logical storage volume comprising at least a portion of a physical storage space of one or more storage devices of the first storage system.

13. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first and additional storage systems are not configured to participate in a replication process in which one or more storage volumes are replicated from the first storage system to the additional storage system.

14. A method comprising:

detecting an error relating to storage of a given data page in a first storage system;

sending a message to at least one additional storage system, the message containing a hash handle of the given data page with the hash handle having a length that is shorter than that of a corresponding hash digest of the given data page;

receiving from the additional storage system responsive to the message a recovery data page identified by the additional storage system as having the same hash handle as the given data page;

receiving from the additional storage system responsive to the message an address of the recovery data page in the additional storage system;

verifying the recovery data page received from the additional storage system; and

comparing the received address to the address of the given data page in the first storage system in conjunction with verifying the recovery data page;

wherein verifying the recovery data page received from the additional storage system comprises computing a hash digest of the recovery data page, computing a hash handle from the computed hash digest, and comparing the computed hash handle to the hash handle of the given data page; and

wherein the method is implemented by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.

15. The method of claim 14 wherein the first storage system compares the received address to the address of the given data page in the first storage system in conjunction with verifying the recovery data page.

16. The method of claim 14 wherein the first storage system utilizes the recovery data page received from the additional storage system to recover from the detected error relating to storage of the given data page.

17. The method of claim 14 wherein separate instances of the message containing the hash handle of the given data page are sent to each of a plurality of additional storage systems.

18. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes said at least one processing device:

to detect an error relating to storage of a given data page in a first storage system;

to send a message to at least one additional storage system, the message containing a hash handle of the given data page with the hash handle having a length that is shorter than that of a corresponding hash digest of the given data page;

to receive from the additional storage system responsive to the message a recovery data page identified by the additional storage system as having the same hash handle as the given data page;

to receive from the additional storage system responsive to the message an address of the recovery data page in the additional storage system;

to verify the recovery data page received from the additional storage system; and

to compare the received address to the address of the given data page in the first storage system in conjunction with verifying the recovery data page;

wherein verifying the recovery data page received from the additional storage system comprises computing a hash digest of the recovery data page, computing a hash handle from the computed hash digest, and comparing the computed hash handle to the hash handle of the given data page.

19. The computer program product of claim 18 wherein the hash handle of the given data page is obtained from a logical layer mapping table of the first storage system.

20. The computer program product of claim 19 wherein the logical layer mapping table comprises an address-to-hash table that stores logical addresses of one or more storage volumes of the first storage system in association with respective hash handles.
