    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for moving data between storage devices when a source storage device is becoming a bottleneck. One or more blocks of data are identified as blocks to be moved or replicated from the source storage device to one or more other storage devices. The one or more other storage devices are selected and copy services are used to move the blocks from the source storage device to the one or more other storage devices. A metadata store is updated with locations of the blocks that have been moved.

    Abstract: Provided are techniques for copying data. A volume container copyset that includes volume containers is received. A volume container copyset that includes volume containers is received. Each of the volume containers is associated with a copyset role, and each of the volume containers includes zero or more volumes, wherein each of the volumes in a volume container has the copyset role of that volume container. Sets of volumes are associated with a replication session, wherein each of the sets of volumes has one volume from each of the volume containers. Each of the sets of volumes has volumes associated with a copyset role that is associated with the volume containers with which each volume is associated. In response to determining that one of membership of one of the volume containers and a size of a volume in one of the volume containers has been modified, one or more corresponding volume containers in the volume container copyset are automatically modified.
