Grid based data mobility

摘要

A data migration system and method are disclosed for migrating data from a source server to a target server. The system includes an index containing a plurality of data migration operations in a normalized data model, each data migration operation being stored in association with an attribute, and a data mover communicably connected to the index. The data mover is adapted to move data from the source server to the target server in accordance with the data migration operations contained in the index. The data mover has an attribute corresponding to the associated attribute of at least one data migration operation contained in the index, the attribute indicating the type of data migration operations that can be performed by the data mover.

1. A method for migrating data from a source server to a target server, the method comprising:
storing a set of data migration operations in a normalized data model in a single index, each data migration operation being stored in association with an attribute; storing an attribute profile in a data mover communicably connected to the single index, the attribute profile indicating the type of data migration operations that are performed by the data mover; acquiring, by the single index, the attribute profile stored in the data mover; transmitting, from the single index to the data mover, a data migration operation from the set of data migration operations stored in the single index, wherein the attribute profile of the data mover matches an attribute of the transmitted data migration operation; converting the transmitted data migration operation into a data extraction command in a source language of the source server; transmitting the data extraction command to the source server; converting the transmitted data migration operation into a data commit command in a target language of the target server; transmitting the data commit command to the target server; and moving data from the source server to the target server.
