Abstract
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for correcting overlapping data sets in a volume. A determination is made of overlapping data sets in a first volume that are assigned a same data unit. The data sets in the first volume that are not assigned a same data unit are copied to a second volume. The same data unit is processed to determine one of the overlapping data sets for which the same data unit is intended and copied to the determined overlapping data set in the second volume.
Claims24
A computer program product for managing data sets assigned data units in a first volume in a storage, wherein the computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause operations, the operations comprising:
- determining overlapping data sets in the first volume that are assigned a same data unit;
- copying the data sets in the first volume that are not assigned a same data unit to a second volume;
- processing the same data unit to determine one of the overlapping data sets for which the same data unit is intended;
- and
- copying the same data unit to the determined overlapping data set in the second volume.
A system for managing data sets assigned data units in a first volume in a storage, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium having program instructions that when executed by the processor perform operations, the operations comprising:
- determining overlapping data sets in the first volume that are assigned a same data unit;
- copying the data sets in the first volume that are not assigned a same data unit to a second volume;
- processing the same data unit to determine one of the overlapping data sets for which the same data unit is intended;
- and
- copying the same data unit to the determined overlapping data set in the second volume.
