Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for autonomically creating a target volume in conjunction with a fastcopy data operation. The apparatus includes a selection module, a creation module, and a write module. The selection module selects a source volume from a source pool. The creation module creates a target volume from a predefined target storage space. The target volume corresponds to the source volume. The write module writes fastcopy data from the source volume to the target volume. The apparatus, system, and method minimize user intervention and facilitate on-demand creation of target volumes from the target storage space.
