Patent ID: 10664200

Abstract:
One embodiment provides a method, including: utilizing at least one processor to execute computer code that performs the steps of: receiving a read request for a data-chunk, wherein the data-chunk is stored on a system comprising a plurality of logical volumes and wherein at least one of the logical volumes comprises a mirrored logical volume corresponding to another of the at least one logical volumes; identifying one of the logical volumes of the system where the requested data-chunk is stored in plain format, wherein the identifying comprises: ensuring the data-chunk is in plain format on one of the logical volumes by implementing a data deduplication policy on the system, wherein the data deduplication policy designates one of the logical volumes from the mirrored logical volume and the corresponding logical volume as not being deduplicated; and wherein the identified one of the logical volumes comprises the designated non-deduplicated logical volume that comprises the data-chunk; and directing the read request to the identified one of the logical volumes. Other aspects are described and claimed.
