Abstract
In one embodiment, a network device in a network obtains information identifying first storage and second storage. The network device notifies one or more other network devices in the network that traffic that is received by the other network devices is to be routed to the network device. The network device performs data migration from the first storage to the second storage. When the data migration from the first storage to the second storage is completed, the network device notifies the other network devices in the network that traffic that is received by the other network devices is no longer to be routed to the network device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- transmitting a first notification to one or more network devices, the first notification indicating that a data migration node is selectively serving as one of a proxy initiator and a proxy target for traffic that is received by the one or more network devices during data migration between a first storage and a second storage;
- determining that data migration between the first storage and the second storage is substantially complete;
- and
- transmitting a second notification to the one or more network devices in response to determining that data migration is substantially complete, the second notification indicating that the data migration node is no longer selectively serving as one of the proxy initiator and the proxy target.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- a non-transitory memory including instructions, that when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
- transmit a first notification to one or more network devices, the first notification indicating that a data migration node is selectively serving as one of a proxy initiator and a proxy target for traffic that is received by the one or more network devices during data migration between a first storage and a second storage;
- determine that data migration between the first storage and the second storage is substantially complete;
- and
- transmit a second notification to the one or more network devices in response to determining that data migration is substantially complete, the second notification indicating that the data migration node is no longer selectively serving as one of the proxy initiator and the proxy target.
