Abstract
Lock structures of a shared storage processor of a computing environment are copied. A copy operation for a lock structure of the shared storage processor is initiated. Although the lock structure is owned by an exploiter of the lock structure, one or more objects of the lock structure are copied via an operating system of the computing environment. The one or more objects are copied from the lock structure to another lock structure of the computing environment. Both lock structures may be located within the same shared storage processor or within different shared storage processors.
