Systems and methods for adaptive offloading of mass storage data movement

A computing device for adaptive offloading of data movement from a first computer system, said computer device comprising a processor communicatively coupled to an input/output (I/O) controller, said computing device programmed to:

• identify response times from a plurality of historical SCSI extended copy (XCOPY) operations associated with a storage unit, each XCOPY operation of the plurality of XCOPY operations including one or more parameters;
• select, based on the identified response times, one or more XCOPY parameters for the storage unit from the plurality of XCOPY operations;
• form a new XCOPY operation associated with the storage unit, the XCOPY operation including the one or more selected XCOPY parameters;
• and
• transmit the new XCOPY operation to the storage unit.

A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein, when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:

• identify response times from a plurality of historical SCSI extended copy (XCOPY) operations associated with a storage unit, each XCOPY operation of the plurality of XCOPY operations including one or more parameters;
• select, based on the identified response times, one or more XCOPY parameters for the storage unit from the plurality of XCOPY operations;
• form a new XCOPY operation associated with the storage unit, the XCOPY operation including the one or more selected XCOPY parameters;
• and
• transmit the new XCOPY operation to the storage unit.
