Abstract

A mapping tool for hierarchical storage mapping may include a storage hierarchy representation interface, a command interface and remapping software. The storage hierarchy representation interface may be configured to provide a user with representations of a source storage hierarchy and target storage devices, where the source storage hierarchy may include a source storage device with one or more contained storage devices. The command interface may allow the user to request a hierarchical mapping of the source storage device to one or more target storage devices. The remapping software may be configured to create a mapping of the source storage device and the contained storage devices to storage within the target storage devices.
