Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for managing the copying of writes from primary storages to secondary storages across different networks. Information is maintained on a first group of at least one primary storage, at least one primary device managing Input/Output (I/O) access to the at least one primary storage, and at least one corresponding secondary storage to which writes to the at least one primary storage are copied and a second group of at least one primary storage, at least one primary device managing Input/Output (I/O) access to the at least one primary storage, and at least one corresponding secondary storage to which writes to the at least one primary storage are copied. A failure notification is received from one of the primary devices in the first or second group of a failure to copy a write from the primary device to the secondary device. A freeze command is issued over a first network, using a first network protocol, to the at least one primary device in the first group to stop copying writes to the corresponding at least one secondary device. A freeze command is issued over a second network, using a second network protocol, to the at least one primary device in the second group to stop copying writes to the corresponding at least one secondary device.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for establishing copy relationships to copy source data to target data. A request is received to establish a copy relationship indicating to copy source data to target data. A determination is made as to whether the source data defined in the request comprises target data defined in a preexisting copy relationship. A determination is made as to whether base source data copied to the target data in the preexisting copy relationship also comprises the source data indicated in the request in response to determining that the source data defined in the request comprises target data in the preexisting copy relationship. A new copy relationship is defined to copy the determined base source data to the target data indicated in the request.
