A method, computer, and computer program product for performing a service. A processor unit identifies information about a network data processing system for performing the service. The processor unit identifies a plurality of steps used to perform the service. The processor unit identifies a set of software tools needed in each step in the plurality of steps to perform the service on the network data processing system. The set of software tools is identified based on the information identified. The information comprises at least one of a type of optimization performance system, a type of cluster, and a configuration of the cluster.

Performing services in a network data processing system

Method and apparatus for data migration are described herein. In one embodiment, in response to data received from an application to be written to a first storage volume, the data is written to the first storage volume and a second storage volume substantially concurrently. When the first and second storage volumes are synchronized, a switchover is performed from the first storage volume to the second storage volume, such that subsequent data received from the application is written to the second storage volume, where writing the data to the first and second storage volumes and the switchover are performed without knowledge of the application. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
