Abstract:
Visibility of a data storage entity on a first storage system is switched to a replicated data storage entity on a second storage system. Data from the data storage entity is replicated from the first storage system to the second storage system using a common serial number. The data storage entity is hidden from the first storage system by concealing the common serial number. An ejection of the data storage entity from the first storage system is automated, and the replicated data storage entity is introduced to the second storage system.
