US Patent 9292214 Systems and methods for migrating data

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 check a block cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for the protected data when the processor receives a request to read the protected data. One method includes receiving unprotected data, utilizing, by a second processor, a peer-to-peer remote copy (PPRC) application to add protection to the data to generate protected data, checking a CRC for the protected data when a request to migrate the protected data is received, and storing the protected data in a protected SCSI LUN.
