Storage system software upgrade and data migration
Abstract:
In some examples, a system may include a computing device in communication with at least one storage device. Initially, the computing device may execute a first type of storage software which stores a first volume in a first storage format on the storage device. The computing device may thereafter execute a second type of storage software which configures a second volume in a second storage format on the storage device. Subsequently, the data of the first volume is migrated to the second volume where the data is stored in the second storage format. In some cases, the second storage software may further define a virtual external device on the storage device and define a logical path from the virtual external device to the first volume. The logical path may be used to migrate the data from the first volume to the second volume.
