1. A method for automatically configuring replication volumes as part of a failover procedure, the method comprising:
obtaining replication volume configuration information identifying configuration of at least one replication volume in a data replication relationship in which data is replicated from a replication source to a replication target, wherein, prior to failover, the at least one replication volume is configured for the replication source and the at least one replication volume remains at least partially non-configured for the replication target during data replication from the replication source to the replication target, in which changes to one or more storage volumes at the replication source are replicated and made, prior to failover, to one or more storage volumes at the replication target, wherein the obtained replication volume configuration information comprises a partial identifier of a storage device of the replication target; and
based on an indication of failover from a replication source site to a replication target site, automatically configuring, using the obtained replication volume configuration information, the at least one replication volume for the replication target in preparation for use by an application of the replication target site, the automatically configuring including configuring, for the at least one replication volume, at least one volume group and at least one mount point, wherein the using the obtained replication volume configuration information comprises, after receiving the indication of the failover:
obtaining, from the obtained replication volume configuration information, the partial identifier of the storage device;
querying an operating system of the replication target site to identify a full identifier for the storage device;
using the full identifier for the storage device to obtain a disk name for the storage device; and
using the disk name to configure a volume group of the at least one volume group.
