Abstract
A parallel track/sector switching device and associated method is provided. The method includes identifying data replication sources and locating data replication targets associated with the data replication sources. Data replication instances associated with moving data from the data replication sources to the data replication targets are determined. A first data replication instance for moving first data from a first data replication source to a first data replication target is determined and an antenna capacity associated with the first data replication source and the first data replication target is identified. A memory to track ID map associated with a storage device of the first data replication target is identified and it is determined if a last replication slot has been allotted to the first data replication target based on the memory to track ID map.
