Abstract
At least one processing device receives a create-token command from a host device. Responsive to receipt of the create-token command, the processing device creates the token, generates an in-memory snapshot of data in one or more logical address ranges of one or more source storage volumes, associates the in-memory snapshot with the token, and provides the token to the host device. The processing device receives a write-via token command from the host device, the write-via-token command specifying the token and one or more logical address ranges of one or more target storage volumes. Responsive to receipt of the write-via-token command, the processing device determines whether or not differential metadata of the storage system includes one or more entries for the one or more logical address ranges of the one or more source storage volumes, and controls execution of the write-via-token command based at least in part on the determination.
