Abstract:
A method for managing migration may include detecting an attempt to perform migration from an existing off-host storage array to a new off-host storage array by 1) identifying a new communication path that appears to a host system as a path from the host system to the existing off-host storage array, 2) determining whether the new communication path comprises a standby path that is not actively being used for communication between the host system and the existing off-host storage array, 3) determining whether the new communication path actually comprises a path to the new storage array configured to appear to the host system as though it were the existing storage array, and 4) concluding that non-disruptive data migration is being attempted. The method may also include performing a management operation with respect to the new off-host storage array. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
