    摘要: A computer-implemented method according to one approach includes receiving requests to perform data operations on a first storage container, where the data operations include a read operation and a write operation. It is determined whether first data stored on the first storage container is set to a read-only status. In response to determining that the first data is set to the read-only status, the read operation is allowed to be performed on the first container for reading the first data, and the write operation is performed on a second storage container. Moreover, in response to determining that the first data is set to the read-only status, it is determined whether the read-only status has been withdrawn. In response to determining that the read-only status has been withdrawn, further write operations are allowed to be performed on the first storage container.

    摘要: In one embodiment of split data migration in accordance with the present description, to migrate the data of a volume or other data unit which has been previously mirrored from a primary data storage system to a secondary data storage system, the data unit is split into two or more parts. One part is migrated from the primary data storage system to a migration target storage system, and another part is migrated from the secondary data storage system, to the same, common migration target storage system. In this manner, the migration workload of migrating a unit of data may be split between the primary and secondary storage systems, reducing the impact of migration data processing upon the primary storage system and reducing migration time. Other features and aspects may be realized, depending upon the particular application.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, is for managing data received at a storage device. The computer-implemented method includes: receiving data management policies, and receiving two or more connection names from a host. Each of the connection names is correlated with one or more of the data management policies. Moreover, a connection path which extends between the storage device and the host is created. The connection path also has a connection name which corresponds thereto. Data is received along the connection path, and the connection name which corresponds to the connection path is matched to one of the connection names received from the host. Furthermore, the received data is processed according to the one or more data management policies that are correlated with the matching one of the connection names received from the host.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving a request for a set of data at a first data storage tier, looking up corresponding metadata to each portion of the requested set of data, using the metadata to recall each of the portions of the requested set of data from object storage, and using the portions of the requested set of data to recompile a master object, the master object having a 1-to-1 mapping to the requested set of data. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in additional embodiments.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method for disaster recovery (DR) testing includes creating a snapshot of data based on a backup copy of data stored on one or more production clusters or a live copy of the data and storing the snapshot on more than one DR cluster within a DR family, determining which cluster within the DR family to access the snapshot from based on a consistency of the snapshot in relation to data on the one or more production clusters at a time-zero, accessing the snapshot of data stored on the determined DR cluster within the DR family only when the snapshot was made consistent with respect to data on the one or more production clusters within the DR family before the time-zero, and performing DR testing using the snapshot.

    摘要: A method according to one embodiment includes copying data incoming to and/or generated at a production site to a copy cluster at a remote copy site, thereby creating a redundant copy of the data at the copy cluster. When the copy cluster becomes unavailable, data incoming to and/or generated at the production site is copied to a backup reserve site after the copy cluster becomes unavailable. Additional systems, methods, and computer programs products are also presented.
