Abstract
A method, computer program product, and/or system for performing a selection of a plurality of auxiliary storage sites in a multi-target environment in preparation for a hyper exchange are/is provided. To perform the selection, a failure is first detected with respect to a primary storage site in the multi-target environment. Then, aggregate weights are determined based on a management policy for the plurality of auxiliary storage sites. In turn, an auxiliary storage site with a first aggregate weight is selected from the plurality of auxiliary storage sites. With the auxiliary storage site selected, the hyper exchange of a plurality of systems in a multi-target environment in response to the failure is triggered from the primary storage site to the auxiliary storage site with the first aggregate weight.
