VOLUME MIGRATION FOR A STORAGE AREA NETWORK

摘要

Disclosed herein is a storage array configured for volume migration. An example of the storage array includes migration logic, at least partially comprising hardware logic, to establish a pass-through volume in the storage array wherein the pass-through volume is not associated with local storage in the storage array, such that communication paths between a host computing device, a source volume, and the pass-through volume during are maintained during migration. The migration logic is configured to convert the pass-through volume to a destination volume in the storage array after data migration, wherein the destination volume is associated with local storage within the storage array.

1. A storage array, comprising migration logic, at least partially comprising hardware logic, to:
establish a pass-through volume in the storage array wherein the pass-through volume is not associated with local storage in the storage array, and such that communication paths between a host computing device, a source volume in a source storage array, and the pass-through volume during are maintained during migration; migrate data from the source volume to the pass-through volume; and convert the pass-through volume to a destination volume in the storage array after data migration, wherein the destination volume is associated with local storage within the storage array.
