Abstract
In an embodiment, a migration of a dataset from a source storage system to a target storage system is initiated. The target storage system provides data services for the dataset before completing migration of the dataset from the source storage system to the target storage system. The data services can include snapshotting, cloning, data reduction, virtual copy, and replication. In some cases, the data services are provided before any portion of the dataset is copied.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- initiating a migration of a dataset from a source storage system to a target storage system;
- and
- providing, by the target storage system, data services for the dataset before completing migration of the dataset from the source storage system to the target storage system.
An apparatus comprising a computer processor and a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory storing computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to:
- initiate a migration of a dataset from a source storage system to a target storage system;
- and
- provide, by the target storage system, data services for the dataset before completing migration of the dataset from the source storage system to the target storage system.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed, cause a processing device to:
- initiate a migration of a dataset from a source storage system to a target storage system;
- and
- provide, by the target storage system, data services for the dataset before completing migration of the dataset from the source storage system to the target storage system.
