摘要
A method and system for transferring data from a primary storage system to a secondary storage system in which the primary storage system includes primary storage volumes and a primary bridge volume and the secondary storage system includes secondary storage volumes and a secondary bridge volume. A link between the primary bridge volume and the secondary bridge volume is established. The data to be transferred from a primary storage volume to a corresponding secondary storage volume is then copied onto the primary bridge volume by using pointers to the data of the primary storage volume (internal snapshot copy). Snapshot copied data is then transferred from the primary bridge volume to the secondary bridge volume over the link. The data is then moved from the secondary bridge volume to the secondary storage volume corresponding to the primary storage volume to put the primary storage volume and the corresponding secondary storage volume in synchronization. This process enables the use of bridge volumes to handle data synchronization responsibilities in addition to data transferring responsibilities thereby allowing the host to not have to compete for access to primary storage volumes.
