Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing a file system format for persistent memory. A node, comprising persistent memory, receives an operation comprising a file identifier and file system instance information. A list of file system info objects are evaluated to identify a file system info object matching the file system instance information. An inofile, identified by the file system info object as being associated with inodes of files within an instance of the file system targeted by the operation, is traversed to identify an inode matching the file identifier. If the inode comprises an indicator that the file is tiered into the persistent memory, then the inode it utilized to facilitate execution of the operation upon the persistent memory. Otherwise, the operation is routed to a storage file system tier for execution by a storage file system upon storage associated with the node.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing a unified object format. The unified object format is used to format data in a performance tier (e.g., infrequently accessed data, snapshot data, etc.) into objects that are stored into an object store for low cost, scalable, long term storage compared to storage of the performance tier. With the unified object format, compression of the data may be retained when the data is stored as the objects into the object store. Additional compression may also be provided for the data in the objects. The unified object format includes slot header metadata used to track the location of the data within the object notwithstanding the data being compressed and/or stored at non-fixed boundaries. The slot header metadata may be cached at the performance tier for improved read performance and may be repaired by a repair subsystem (a slot header repair subsystem).

Abstract: Methods and systems for a networked storage system are provided. One method includes assigning a quality of service (QOS) parameter for a storage volume of a networked storage environment having a first storage node and a second storage node, where the QOS parameter is defined by a throughput value that defines a maximum data transfer rate and a number of input/output (I/O) operations executed within a time period (IOPS); distributing the QOS parameter between the first storage node and the second storage node; determining that throughput credit is available for processing an I/O request for using the storage volume; determining that IOPS credit is available for processing the request by the first storage node; and processing the I/O request when both the throughput credit and the IOPS credit is available.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for on-demand creation and/or utilization of containers and/or serverless threads for hosting data connector components. The data connector components can be used to perform integrity checking, anomaly detection, and file system metadata analysis associated with objects stored within an object store. The data connector components may be configured to execute machine learning functionality to perform operations and tasks. The data connector components can perform full scans or incremental scans. The data connector components may be stateless, and thus may be offlined, upgraded, onlined, and/or have tasks transferred between data connector components. Results of operations performed by the data connector components upon base objects may be stored within sibling objects.

Abstract: Data traffic management in a computing environment utilizing direct memory access functionality is disclosed. A management agent is configured to operate within a storage node. The management agent includes a storage interface to communicate with a first set of storage devices, a management memory interface to communicate with a first management memory, and an interconnect (IC) interface to communicate with a remote peer node. The management agent controls data traffic between the storage node and the peer node to provide at least mirroring of the first management memory to the peer node and mirroring of a second management memory on the peer node to the storage node. The management agent further controls the data traffic using a traffic control approach selected based on at least a performance evaluation of an IC fabric accessible via the IC interface.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for enforcing policies at a sub-logical unit number (LUN) granularity, such as at a virtual disk or virtual machine granularity. A block range of a virtual disk of a virtual machine stored within a LUN is identified. A quality of service policy object is assigned to the block range to create a quality of service workload object. A target block range targeted by an operation is identified. A quality of service policy of the quality of service policy object is enforced upon the operation using the quality of service workload object based upon the target block range being within the block range of the virtual disk.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises providing a synchronous replication relationship from one or more storage objects of a first storage node to one or more replicated storage objects of a second storage node, providing an asynchronous replication relationship with an asynchronous update schedule from the one or more storage objects of the first storage node to one or more replicated storage objects of the third storage node to provide a protection configuration, tracking, with the third storage node of the tertiary site, a state of the secondary storage site, automatically performing a failover from the primary storage site to the secondary storage site and activating a synchronous mirror copy for the one or more replicated storage objects of the second storage node, and automatically initiating realignment and reconfiguration of the protection configuration to the tertiary storage site based upon the state of the secondary storage site.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a file system with object versioning support are provided. Rather than adding object records for each version of an object to a chapter database, in one example, the chapter database may be limited to a single object record for a given object including: (i) a name of the object; (ii) an object file handle containing information regarding a file containing data of a current version of multiple versions of the object; and (iii) a version table file handle containing information regarding a file containing a version table. In this manner, enumeration of objects associated with a given chapter may be performed more efficiently and prior versions of objects may be maintained separately within the version table without causing disproportionate growth of object records and without increasing the search depth with objects that are not referenced by the search at issue.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for metadata management for enabling automated switchover. An initial quorum vote may be performed before a node executes an operation associated with metadata comprising operational information and switchover information. After the initial quorum vote is performed, the node executes the operation upon one or more mailbox storage devices. Once the operation has executed, a final quorum vote is performed. The final quorum vote and the initial quorum vote are compared to determine whether the operation is to be designated as successful or failed, and whether any additional actions are to be performed.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for supporting a lookup structure for a file system implementing hierarchical reference counting. A write operation to write data to a page maintained by the file system is received. A lookup within a lookup structure is performed using information related to the page in order to identify a lookup entry within the lookup structure. A hash generation count within the lookup entry is compared to a file system info generation count within a file system info object for a volume associated with the page. In response to the lookup entry generation count not matching the file system info generation count, a file system tree of the file system is traversed to determine a reference count for the page, and the write operation is implemented based upon the reference count. Otherwise, the lookup entry is utilized to access the page for processing the write operation.
