MANAGING HOST CONNECTIVITY DURING NON-DISRUPTIVE MIGRATION IN A STORAGE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17728488 Titled 'MANAGING HOST CONNECTIVITY DURING NON-DISRUPTIVE MIGRATION IN A STORAGE SYSTEM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a storage system that can migrate data from one storage system to another without interrupting access to the data by a host system. The first storage system sends requests to the host system to gather information on how to connect to the second storage system and disconnect from the first storage system during the migration process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A first storage system receives a request to migrate a volume from the first storage system to a second storage system, and commences a migration process to non-disruptively migrate the volume from the first storage system to the second storage system while the volume is being accessed by a host system. The first storage system sends a first request to the host system to discover information for connecting to the second storage system to allow the host system to access to the volume through the second storage system during the migration process. In addition, the first storage system sends a second request to the host system to discover information for disconnecting from the first storage system during a final stage of the migration process.
