Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of replicating tiered data includes copying a volume from a first tiered storage array of a primary processing site to a second tiered storage array of a failover processing site, wherein the volume is tiered with a first tiered organization in both the first and second tiered storage arrays, directing from a first storage controller of the primary processing site that a second storage controller of the failover processing site stop tiering the volume on the second tiered storage array, changing the first tiered organization of the volume in the first tiered storage array to a second tiered organization, and changing the first tiered organization of the volume in the second tiered storage array to the second tiered organization.
