Abstract:
1. A computing environment, comprising: a computing node coupled to a first storage system and a second storage system, wherein the computing node includes a multi-pathing module that permits the computing node to communicate data operations to the first storage system and the second storage system via a primary communication path and a secondary communication path, wherein the primary communication path extends between the first storage system and the multi-pathing module and wherein the secondary communication paths extends between the second storage system and the multi-pathing module; a migration communication path between the first storage system and the second storage system, wherein the migration communication path extends between the first storage system and the second storage system and is utilized to transparently perform data migration between the first storage system and the second storage system non-disruptively to the computing node, wherein the data is migrated from first storage devices coupled to the first storage system and stored in second storage devices coupled to the second storage system; and at least one module executed to perform the data migration by:
