Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and storage platform computing apparatus that obtains a lifecycle management policy and configuration information for a cloud repository identified in the lifecycle management policy. The configuration information includes at least one access parameter for the cloud repository. The lifecycle management policy is applied to determine when an object is required to be replicated to the cloud repository in response to a received write request. A request to store the object in the cloud repository is generated, when the object is determined to be required to be stored in the cloud repository, wherein the request includes the access parameter. The request is sent to the cloud repository using a representational state transfer (REST) interface associated with the cloud repository.

Abstract: A storage area network (SAN)-attached storage system architecture is disclosed. The storage system provides strongly consistent distributed storage communication protocol semantics, such as SCSI target semantics. The system includes a mechanism for presenting a single distributed logical unit, comprising one or more logical sub-units, as a single logical unit of storage to a host system by associating each of the logical sub-units that make up the single distributed logical unit with a single host visible identifier that corresponds to the single distributed logical unit. The system further includes mechanisms to maintain consistent context information for each of the logical sub-units such that the logical sub-units are not visible to a host system as separate entities from the single distributed logical unit.

Abstract: A system and method of emulating a shared storage device includes determining a storage unit identifier (SUID) associated with a first local storage device in a first node of a distributed computing system, updating a first path handler to intercept storage requests including the SUID and being made on the first node and forwarding the storage requests to drivers for an emulated shared storage device, associating a second local storage device in a second node of the distributed computing system with the SUID, updating a second path handler to intercept storage requests including the SUID and being made on the second node and forwarding the storage requests to the drivers for the emulated shared storage device, and intercepting storage requests including the SUID and being made on the second node and forwarding the storage requests to the drivers for the emulated shared storage device.

Abstract: Consistent distributed storage communication protocol semantics, such as SCSI target semantics, in a SAN-attached clustered storage system are disclosed. The system includes a mechanism for presenting a single distributed logical unit, comprising one or more logical sub-units, as a single logical unit of storage to a host system by associating each of the logical sub-units that make up the single distributed logical unit with a single host visible identifier that corresponds to the single distributed logical unit. The system further includes a mechanism to maintain consistent context information for each of the logical sub-units such that the logical sub-units are not visible to a host system as separate entities from the single distributed logical unit.
