Abstract
One example method includes moving a volume from a source server to a target server. In one example, the volume is moved and the need to copy the source data is eliminated. The volume to be moved is selected and metadata associated with the save sets stored on the volume is exported to a volume bootstrap, which is also stored on the selected volume. The volume is mounted or attached to the target server and the metadata is imported from the volume bootstrap. The volume is made read/write and is moved from the source server to the target server.
