Abstract:
A computer system for fast format or reproducing data of a computer data storage device includes a computer system executing a reproducing process for reproducing data. A source disk (Ds) data storage device and a target disk (Dt) data storage device have data communication between each other and communicate with the computer system. The Ds data is reproducible to the Dt, and the Ds has blank regions with no data which corresponds to zero. The Ds having data regions and an intermediary flash copy map (D0) is generated by the program having all logical zeros for copying blank regions in the Ds to the Dt. The Ds is disengaged from reproducing after all data regions are copied from the Ds to the Dt. The reproducing of the Ds to the Dt continues after disengaging the Ds from the reproducing process by copying the zeros of the D0 to the Dt.

Abstract:
Provided are a method, apparatus, and computer program product for testing a virtualized storage system. Data defining one or more configuration features of the virtualized storage system is received. Also received is a set of one or more predetermined rules defining interpretation of the disk exercising commands, the interpretation being dependent on one or more of the configuration features. A first disk exercising command is received. The first disk exercising command is interpreted in accordance with one of the predetermined rules to produce a second disk exercising command. The second disk exercising command is sent to the virtualized storage system.
