Abstract
A virtual tape server for implementing a method for exporting one or more logical volumes contained in a source physical volume pool. The method involves an activation of an export clone pool to clone an identity of the source physical volume pool into the export clone pool based on the logical volumes, an exportation of the export clone pool including the logical volumes subsequent to the activation of the export clone pool, and a deactivation of the export clone pool to purge the identity of the source physical volume pool from the export clone pool subsequent to the exportation of the export clone pool.
