    摘要: A data storage system, device, and method are provided for replicating data between different data storage systems or appliances. More specifically, the present invention allows an initiating data storage device to pull data from a target data storage device. Thus, the storage device that is supplying the data can act as a target and does not require the additional software inherent in being an initiator.

    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for providing a data storage system having snapshot restore capabilities are provided. In particular, snapshots may be taken to represent a state of a storage volume at different times. The state of the storage volume may be returned to the state represented by any snapshot even while the storage volume continues to accept read and write operations. Furthermore, these features are provided in the context of a sparse snapshot structure, according to which multiple copies of individual data chunks are not maintained by the data storage system.

    摘要: A data storage system, device, and method are provided for replicating data between different data storage systems or appliances. More specifically, the present invention affords communications between heterogeneous data storage systems that potential employ different communication protocols. A bridging communication protocol is utilized by one or both storage systems in order to accommodate different communication protocols. Alternatively, a storage appliance connecting the data storage systems may employ the bridging communication protocol.

    摘要: A method, device, and system for resetting snapshots are provided. The reset of a snapshot incorporates the traditional snapshot delete and snapshot create operations into a single operation. Additionally, a snapshot created under the reset operation may receive an array partition from a snapshot being deleted under the same snapshot reset operation thereby retaining its identifying characteristics.

    摘要: A method, device, and system are provided for re-initializing a backing store in a data storage system. More specifically, when all snapshots associated with a specified backing store are either being deleted or are marked for deletion the backing store is re-initialized rather than deleting each snapshot independently. The re-initialization of the backing store provides for a quicker way to delete all snapshots than could previously be achieved when each snapshot was deleted independently.
