Abstract
Cache structures of a shared storage processor of a computing environment are copied. A copy operation for a cache structure of the shared storage processor is initiated. Although the cache structure is owned by an exploiter of the cache structure, one or more objects of the cache structure are copied via an operating system of the computing environment. The one or more objects are copied from the cache structure to another cache structure of the computing environment. Both cache structures may be located within the same shared storage processor or within different shared storage processors.
