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