Abstract
An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to identify data to be migrated from a first device to a second device, the first device comprising a first storage stack supporting a first storage request block protocol. The processing device is also configured to determine whether a second storage stack of the second device supports the first storage request block protocol and, responsive to determining that the second storage stack of the second device does not support the first storage request block protocol, to convert storage request blocks directed to the data to be migrated from a first format of the first storage request block protocol to a second format of a second storage request block protocol. The processing device is further configured to migrate the data to the second device utilizing input-output operations comprising the storage request blocks in the second format of the second storage request block protocol.
