Abstract
Dynamically creates a cloned target volume by cloning a production volume without breaking a Flashcopy chain for continuing an ingestion of a Flashcopy backup target volume.
Claims20
A method for efficient repository ingestion of a target volume without breaking a point-in-time copy chain by a processor device in a computing environment, the method comprising:
- dynamically creating a cloned target volume by cloning a production volume without breaking a point-in-time copy chain for continuing an ingestion of a point-in-time copy backup target volume.
A system for efficient repository ingestion of a target volume without breaking a point-in-time copy chain in a computing storage environment, the system comprising:
- at least one processor device operable in the computing storage environment, wherein processor device:
- dynamically creates a cloned target volume by cloning a production volume without breaking a point-in-time copy chain for continuing an ingestion of a point-in-time copy backup target volume.
A computer program product for efficient repository ingestion of a target volume without breaking a point-in-time copy chain in a computing environment by a processor device, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- a first executable portion that dynamically creates a cloned target volume by cloning a production volume without breaking a point-in-time copy chain for continuing an ingestion of a point-in-time copy backup target volume.
