Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for managing configuration updates used to replicate configuration of a primary storage virtual machine to a partner storage virtual machine. For example, the partner storage virtual machine may be configured to provide failover operation in place of the primary storage virtual machine in the event the primary storage virtual machine fails. Configuration updates are queued and replayed on the partner storage virtual machine to replicate objects of the primary storage virtual machine to the partner storage virtual machine (e.g., replay of create, modify, or delete object commands for synchronizing volumes, logical unit numbers, and/or other configuration objects of the primary storage virtual machine to the partner storage virtual machine). Configuration updates may be retained, modified, or discarded/removed based upon consolidation rules, which improves computing resource utilization by consolidating configuration updates and/or removing stale configuration updates while achieving a similar replication consistency result.

Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer program products are provided for implementing customizable notification filters within a storage system to fine tune the types of storage access notifications that are transmitted to external computing agents. A storage system receives a set of notification rules from a partner computing system. The set of notification rules define a notification filter that specify which of a plurality of storage access requests from one or more client computing devices to forward to the partner computing system. The storage system stores the notification filter within a notification filter repository accessible by the storage system. Upon receiving a storage access request from an external client computing system, the storage system compares the storage access request against the notification filter to transmit a notification regarding the storage access request to the partner computing system or allow the storage access request without requiring transmission of notification.

Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer program products are provided for temporarily implementing storage access policies within a storage system on behalf of an external computing agent while the external computing agent is offline or otherwise unable to receive and process storage access requests. A storage system receives a set of storage rules from a partner computing system. The set of storage rules define a storage access policy that allows specific users or user groups to perform storage access operations within a file system hosted by the storage system. The set of storage rules also include a time to live (TTL) instruction defining a period of time for which to enable the storage access policy. Upon receiving a storage access request from an external client computing system, the storage system compares the storage access request against the storage access policy to allow or deny the storage access request.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for storage functionality rule implementation on behalf of external client agents. For example, a network storage controller may be configured to perform storage operations on behalf of clients, such as providing read/write access to storage devices. The network storage controller may receive a storage functionality rule (e.g., a rule that tracing is to be enabled for write operations by user (B)) from an external client agent hosted on a client device. Responsive to identify a storage operation context that corresponds to the storage functionality rule (e.g., user (B) may attempt to perform a write operation), the network storage controller may implement the storage functionality rule for the storage operation context on behalf of the external client agent. In this way, network bandwidth and/or processing latency otherwise associated with obtaining storage operation processing instructions from the external client agent may be mitigated.
