Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Various embodiments provide systems and methods for migrating data. One system includes a small computer system interface logical unit number (SCSI LUN) configured to store protected data, a processor, and memory configured to store a peer-to-peer remote copy (PPRC) application. The processor is configured to execute the PPRC application to modify the protection in transmitted data and received data. One method includes receiving unprotected data, utilizing a PPRC application to add protection to the data to generate protected data, and storing the protected data in a protected SCSI LUN. Another method includes receiving, at a protected SCSI LUN, a request to transmit protected data, utilizing a PPRC application to strip the protection from the protected data to generate unprotected data, and transmitting the unprotected data to an unprotected SCSI LUN.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A system for migrating data, comprising: a first small computer system interface logical unit number (SCSI LUN) configured to store protected data; a processor configured to execute a peer-to-peer remote copy (PPRC) application to modify protection in transmitted data and received data by receiving data that is unprotected, utilizing the PPRC to add protection to the data to generate protected data, and storing the protected data in the first SCSI LU…
