Migration of executing applications and associated stored data
First Claim
1. A method, executed by a computer, for migrating executing applications and associated stored data, the method comprising:
- executing applications in a source system environment that access data stored on a source storage device that is directly accessible within the source system environment;
migrating the data to a target storage device that is directly accessible within a target system environment but is not directly accessible within the source system environment, wherein migrating the data comprises copying the data from the source storage device to the target storage device using a remote storage access protocol;
migrating the executing applications from the source system environment to the target system environment; and
wherein migrating the data comprises retrieving a current block from the source storage device via a remote storage access protocol, writing the current block to the target storage device with a local storage access protocol, and advancing the current block to a next block.
