Abstract: Data storage and management systems can be interconnected as clustered systems to distribute data and operational loading. Further, independent clustered storage systems can be associated to form peered clusters. As provided herein, methods and systems for creating and managing intercluster relationships between independent clustered storage systems, allowing the respective independent clustered storage systems to exchange data and distribute management operations between each other while mitigating administrator involvement. Cluster introduction information is provided on a network interface of one or more nodes in a cluster, and intercluster relationships are created between peer clusters. A relationship can be created by initiating contact with a peer using a logical interface, and respective peers retrieving the introduction information provided on the network interface. Respective peers have a role/profile associated with the provided introduction information, which is mapped to the peers, allowing pre-defined access to respective peers.

Abstract translation: 数据存储和管理系统可以作为集群系统互连，以分发数据和操作负载。 此外，独立的集群存储系统可以被关联以形成对等聚类。 如本文所提供的，用于创建和管理独立集群存储系统之间的集群间关系的方法和系统，允许相应的独立集群存储系统在减轻管理员参与的同时交换数据并分发管理操作。 集群介绍信息在集群中的一个或多个节点的网络接口上提供，并且在对等集群之间创建集群间关系。 可以通过使用逻辑接口发起与对等体的联系，以及相应的对等体检索在网络接口上提供的引入信息来创建关系。 相应的对等体具有与提供的引入信息相关联的角色/简档，其被映射到对等体，允许对相应对等体的预定义访问。
