    摘要： A data replication management (DRM) architecture comprising a plurality of storage cells interconnected by a fabric. Flexibility in connectivity is provided by configuring each storage cell port to the fabric to handle both host data access requests and DRM traffic. Each storage cell comprises one or more storage controllers that can be connected to the fabric in any combination. Processes executing in the storage controller find a path to a desired destination storage cell. The discovery algorithm implements a link service that exchanges information related to DRM between the storage controllers. The DRM architecture is symmetric and peer cooperative such that each controller and storage cell can function as a source and a destination of replicated data. The DRM architecture supports parallel and serial “fan-out” to multiple destinations, whereby the multiple storage cells may implement data replicas.

    摘要： Methods for allocating memory for logging data written by a host computer to a source virtual disk and for managing memory allocated to a data log, in a data storage system adapted to maintain redundant data storage sets at a destination location(s) are disclosed. The data storage system maintains a data log that may be activated when a destination volume is inaccessible. During the logging process the system implements an adaptive memory allocation algorithm that adjusts the log memory allocation increment as a function of the velocity of logging data written by the host computer(s). Similarly, during a merge process the system implements an adaptive memory deallocation algorithm that deallocates log memory in response to the velocity of logging data written by the host computer(s) and the velocity of merge data transmitted to the remote system. An amount of memory allocated to logging data may be compared with an amount of memory allocated to corresponding user data and, if greater, the data log terminated.

    摘要： A data storage system adapted to maintain redundant data storage sets at a destination location(s) is disclosed. The data storage system establishes a copy set comprising a source volume and a destination volume. Data written to a source volume is automatically copied to the destination volume. The data storage system maintains a data log that may be activated when the destination volume is inaccessible due to, for example, a malfunction in the destination storage system or in the communication link between the source system and the destination system. I/O commands and the data associated with those commands are written to the data log, and after a destination system becomes available the information in the data log is merged into the destination volume to conform the data in the destination volume to the data in the source volume. The data log competes for disk capacity with other volumes on the system, and log memory is allocated as needed. In operation, the array controllers monitor connection status between array controllers in a DRM group. When a connection failure is detected the controllers determine which of the remaining controllers determine whether the source controller remains online, and if not then which destination controller should assume the role of the source controller.

    摘要： A storage area network (SAN) controller and method for storing and replicating data between sites in a storage area network in which storage controllers at each site implement storage virtualization. A storage cell is implemented at each site comprising at least one storage controller and a pool of physical storage coupled to the controller. A copy set comprising a logical unit (LUN) of storage, referred to as a member, in each of the storage cells is defined. As operational data transactions are performed against one of the members of a copy set, they are replicated, immediately or after a delay, in each other member of the copy set. As changes are made to dependent attributes such as size of one member of the copy set, the change is replicated in each other member of the copy set automatically. Changes can be made in the independent attributes such as size of each member of the copy set independently of other members of the copy set.

    摘要： A system for communicating between two devices in a network in which a semi-persistent tunnel is established between the two devices in advance of data communication. The semi-persistent tunnel includes resources that are pre-allocated in a first device at a first end of the communication link by a second device at the second end of the communication link. The first and second devices implement a plurality of processes for handling data transfer operations. Preferably, the semi-persistent tunnel also includes resources that are pre-allocated in a device at the second end of the communication link by the device at the first end of the communication link to allow bi-directional communication. Data transfer operations transmitted through the tunnel include an identification of specific resources of the pre-allocated resources that are to handle the data transfer operation. Data transfer operations also include a vector identifying a particular process among the plurality of processes that implement the data transfer operation.
