    Abstract: A copy-free transition tool converts storage objects from a source format associated with a source storage system to a destination format associated with a destination storage system. The transition tool exports configuration information associated with the source storage system to the destination storage system and brings the storage objects offline. Once the transition tool determines that the storage devices containing the storage objects are physically connected to the destination storage system, the tool can convert file systems from the source format to the destination format while leaving data and file layout unchanged. The tool can also modify metadata associated with each of the storage objects to conform to the destination format and store the modified metadata with the destination storage system.

    Abstract: A method and system for adaptive data transfers with limited resources are described. A data storage system performs operations that include migrating data from one set of storage volumes to another set of storage volumes using a number of data streams managed by a storage controller. During this data migration process, the storage controller can measure performance of the data storage system such as the CPU load, memory usage, network bandwidth usage, and the total number of data streams in use. Based on the measured performance and scheduling information, the data storage system can adjust the number of concurrent data streams dedicated to data migration in order to complete the migration process in a timely fashion without substantial undue impact to client accesses and backup operations.

    Abstract translation: 描述了一种用于资源有限的自适应数据传输的方法和系统。 数据存储系统执行操作,其包括使用由存储控制器管理的多个数据流将数据从一组存储卷迁移到另一组存储卷。 在此数据迁移过程中,存储控制器可以测量数据存储系统的性能,例如CPU负载,内存使用量,网络带宽使用情况以及正在使用的数据流总数。 基于测量的性能和调度信息,数据存储系统可以调整专用于数据迁移的并发数据流的数量,以便及时完成迁移过程,而不会对客户端访问和备份操作造成实质性的不当影响。
