Importing Pre-Existing Data of a Prior Storage Solution into a Storage Pool for Use with a New Storage Solution |
摘要 |
Mechanisms are provided for importing pre-existing data into a storage system utilizing a current storage management system that is different from an original storage management system used to create the pre-existing data. One or more data storage devices are integrated into the storage system in-place without modification of the pre-existing data stored on the one or more data storage devices. Metadata for the pre-existing data is created based on a linear progression of data in the pre-existing data. Read access requests targeting the pre-existing data are executed using the created metadata. Write access requests targeting the pre-existing data are executed by redirecting the write access requests to a copy of the pre-existing data created in another storage location.
