Estimating the term…
A mechanism is provided in a computing system for controlling virtualized storage operable to communicate with a host and with mapped and unmapped storage resource pools. A selection component selects a target for a destructive data storage operation from the mapped storage resource pool. Responsive to the selection of the target, a virtual targeting component creates a virtual target from the unmapped storage resource pool to represent the target. Responsive to the selection of the target, a storage move component moves the target to a protected storage resource pool. Responsive to the creation of the virtual target from the unmapped storage resource pool, storage move component, moves the virtual target to the used storage resource pool. The computing system then performs the destructive data storage operation on the virtual target.
An apparatus for virtualized storage control, operable in communication with a host and having mapped and unmapped storage resource pools, and comprising:
A method, in a computer system, for controlling virtualized storage operable to communicate with a host and with mapped and unmapped storage resource pools, the method comprising:
