Abstract

Various embodiments provide systems and methods for migrating data. One system includes a small computer system interface logical unit number (SCSI LUN) configured to store protected data, a processor, and memory configured to store a peer-to-peer remote copy (PPRC) application. The processor is configured to execute the PPRC application to modify the protection in transmitted data and received data. One method includes receiving unprotected data, utilizing a PPRC application to add protection to the data to generate protected data, and storing the protected data in a protected SCSI LUN. Another method includes receiving, at a protected SCSI LUN, a request to transmit protected data, utilizing a PPRC application to strip the protection from the protected data to generate unprotected data, and transmitting the unprotected data to an unprotected SCSI LUN.
