Abstract
A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for improved point-in-time copying of data within an asynchronous data mirroring environment comprising: receiving a request to initiate an asynchronous data mirroring operation associated with a first point-in-time copying process; processing a first set of establish data to generate a point-in-time establish reservation, the first set of establish data associated with the first point-in-time copying process establish; using the point-in-time establish reservation to generate a second set of establish data if the second point-in-time copying process can be performed; using the second set of establish data to initiate a second point-in-time copying process; and, tracking establish operations in progress between the first point-in-time copying process and the second point-in-time copying process.
