  • Publication number: 20070220312
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for switching a volume address association in a point-in-time copy relationship. A copy module creates a point-in-time copy structure of a source volume at a target volume. A migration module copies data from the source volume to the target volume. A detection module detects data corruption in the source volume. A switch module switches a logical volume address from a source volume address of the source volume to a target volume address of the target volume in response to detecting the data corruption, redirecting data reads and writes to the target volume. In one embodiment, a tracking module tracks a current target volume copy of source volume data and redirects an access for source volume data without the current target volume copy to the source volume.
