Abstract
A technique for performing non-disruptive migration coordinates object migration with snapshot-shipping to migrate both a data object and its snaps from a source to a target. Snapshot-shipping conveys snaps to the target, and an internal snap of the data object serves as a basis for building a migrated version of the data object at the target. As IO requests specifying writes to the data object arrive at the source, a data mirroring operation writes the arriving data both to the data object at the source and to the version thereof at the target. In parallel with the data mirroring operation, a filtering copy operation copies data of the internal snap to the target, but avoids overwriting data mirrored to the target after the internal snap is taken.
