摘要:
In one aspect, a method to provide synchronous and asymmetric active-active-active access to a first storage volume using a global cache coupled to a first, second and third virtual storage volumes includes replicating asynchronously the first storage volume at a first site to a second storage volume at a second site and mirroring the first storage volume with a third storage volume at a third site. Either one of the first storage volume or the third storage volume has primary storage functionality. The method also includes virtualizing the first storage volume with the first virtual storage volume, virtualizing the second storage volume with the second virtual storage volume and virtualizing the third storage volume with the third virtual storage volume.

A method, system, and computer program product for replication comprising allowing a subset of sites, wherein the sites comprise a first site, a second site and a third site and further wherein each site has a volume, to have active/active VSL replication, which presents two volumes at two different sites as a single volume, and another set of the sites to have a volume which is a replications of the volume presented by the VSL, and enabling the system to transparently shift which subset of the sites are replicated by the VSL and which sites are replications of the volume presented by the VSL; where the replication of the VSL is performed by a second replication technique.

In one aspect, a method includes recovering at least one logical unit of a consistency group in a journal-based replication system without interruption of replication of other logical units in the consistency group, the at least one logical unit being one of a physical logical unit or a virtual logical unit.
摘要:
A method, system, and program product for transparently shifting between using a virtual service layer (VSL) performing active-active replication which presents the volume of the first site and the volume of the second site as a single volume and a second replication technique for replicating the volume of the first site and the volume of the second site without use of the VSL.
摘要:
A method, system, and program product for enabling a virtual service layer to consume a storage medium of a first site and a storage medium of a second site, enabling the virtual service layer to map the storage mediums of the first and second sites as one or more virtual storage volumes, wherein the one or more storage volumes are mirrored between the first and second site, and enabling the virtual service layer to create a write order fidelity delta set of the virtual storage volumes by writing the delta set to backend storage and notifying a splitter to which delta set the IO belongs.

In distributed storage environments (e.g., VPLEX®, from EMC Corporation) a director may be added while the distributed data is being replicated. However, the new director may have new splitters that do not know what to replicate and how to handle new I/Os. If I/Os are missed or lost, that information is gone forever and may be recovered only by a full resync of the volume. However, example embodiments of the present invention overcome these and other deficiencies by allowing adding a director and new splitters without interruption of the replication. Example embodiments of the present invention provide a method, an apparatus and a computer-program product for adding a director to storage with network-based replication without data resynchronization. The method includes obtaining distributed storage system node configuration information and performing replication in a network-based replication system according to the configuration information.

In a first embodiment, a method and computer program product for use in a storage system comprising quiescing IO commands the sites of an ACTIVE/ACTIVE storage system, the active/active storage system having at least two storage sites communicatively coupled via a virtualization layer, creating a change set, unquiescing IO commands by the virtualization layers, transferring data of a change set to the other sites of the active/active storage system by the virtualization layer, and flushing the data by the virtualization layer.In a second embodiment, a method and computer program product for use in a storage system comprising fracturing a cluster of an active/active storage system; wherein the cluster includes at least two sites, stopping IO on a first site of the cluster; and rolling to a point in time on the first site.
摘要:
In one aspect, a method includes continuously replicating a physical volume with no disruption to the replicating while inserting a virtualization layer which virtualizes the physical volume with a virtual volume and replicating the virtual volume instead of the physical volume after the inserting. In another aspect, an article includes a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores executable instructions. The instructions cause a machine to continuously replicate a physical volume with no disruption to the replicating while inserting a virtualization layer which virtualizes the physical volume with a virtual volume and replicate the virtual volume instead of the physical volume after the inserting. In a further aspect, an apparatus includes circuitry configured to continuously replicate a physical volume with no disruption to the replicating while inserting a virtualization layer which virtualizes the physical volume with a virtual volume and replicate the virtual volume instead of the physical volume after the inserting.
