    Abstract: A data storage environment can include one or more virtual clients instantiated on a host proxy computing device. The virtual clients may have only indirect access to a storage device, and may access the storage device via the proxy computing device. For example, the proxy computing device receives storage operation requests from one of the virtual clients, such as a request to create, mount or revert a snapshot of virtual client data. The proxy computing device generally acts as an intermediary between the virtual clients and the storage device to carry out the snapshots or other storage operations. The proxy computing device may further receive a notification upon completion of the storage operations, and transmits relevant data to the requesting virtual client regarding the storage operation.

    Abstract translation: 数据存储环境可以包括在主机代理计算设备上实例化的一个或多个虚拟客户端。 虚拟客户端可以仅间接访问存储设备,并且可以经由代理计算设备访问存储设备。 例如,代理计算设备从虚拟客户端之一接收存储操作请求,诸如创建,装载或还原虚拟客户端数据的快照的请求。 代理计算设备通常充当虚拟客户端和存储设备之间的中介,以执行快照或其他存储操作。 代理计算设备可以在完成存储操作时进一步接收通知,并且将关于存储操作的相关数据发送到请求虚拟客户端。

    Abstract: A data storage system according to certain aspects can share a single snapshot for multiple applications and/or agents. For example, the data storage system can receive snapshot commands from multiple applications and/or agents, and can group them for a single snapshot (e.g., based on time of receipt of the snapshot commands). Data associated with the multiple applications and/or agents may reside on a single LUN or volume. The data storage system can take a single snapshot of the LUN or volume, and generate metadata regarding which portion of the snapshot is related to which application. The single snapshot can be stored in one or more secondary storage devices. The single snapshot may be partitioned into portions relating to different applications and stored separately.

    Abstract translation: 根据某些方面的数据存储系统可以共享用于多个应用和/或代理的单个快照。 例如,数据存储系统可以从多个应用和/或代理接收快照命令,并且可以将它们分组为单个快照(例如,基于快照命令的接收时间)。 与多个应用程序和/或代理关联的数据可以驻留在单个LUN或卷上。 数据存储系统可以拍摄LUN或卷的单个快照,并生成关于快照的哪个部分与哪个应用程序相关的元数据。 单个快照可以存储在一个或多个辅助存储设备中。 单个快照可以被划分为与不同应用相关的部分并分开存储。

    Abstract: An information management system implements a method for determining whether to initiate a failover of a storage manager in the system. Nodes in the system may be assigned as monitoring nodes configured to communicate with a storage manager. Furthermore, each monitoring node may be configured to transmit a status inquiry message to each other monitoring node, and each monitoring node may receive a status inquiry message from each other monitoring node. Each monitoring node may also generate a session message comprising status information, and a plurality of failover nodes may receive the generated session messages. A failover node may then determine whether a failover condition has occurred by applying a plurality of failover rules to the status information of the transmitted session message. Where the failover node determines that a failover condition has occurred, the failover node may activate an offline storage manager to replace the active storage manager.
