Abstract: Accesses of blocks of multiple zoned storage devices are monitored to detect one or more characteristics of the accesses of the blocks. A preventative action is performed in response to the detecting, wherein the preventative action includes sending an indication from the storage system upon determining that one or more of the accesses of the blocks are indicative of a malicious action based on the one or more characteristics.

Abstract: A method of storage system operation, and related computer-readable media and storage system are disclosed. One or more processors or storage system controllers monitor accesses of blocks of storage memory of the storage system. The monitoring is to detect one or more characteristics of the accesses of the blocks. From the characteristic(s), it is determined the one or more accesses of the blocks are indicative of a malicious action. In response to such determining, the storage system performs a reaction action.

Abstract: A system and method for performing copy offload operations. When a copy offload operation from a first volume (pointing to a first medium) to a second volume (pointing to a second medium) is requested, the copy offload operation is performed without accessing the data being copied. A third medium is created, and the first medium is recorded as the underlying medium of the third medium. The first volume is re-pointed to the third medium. Also, a fourth medium is created, the second volume is re-pointed to the fourth medium, and the second medium is recorded as the underlying medium of the targeted range of the fourth medium. All other ranges of the fourth medium have the second medium as their underlying medium.

Abstract: An exemplary monitoring system receives log data associated with an operation of a hardware component, applies the log data as an input to an unsupervised machine learning model, and identifies, based on an output of the unsupervised machine learning model, an anomaly in the log data.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable storage mediums for optimizing performance in a storage system. A volume may be mapped to an anchor medium through an indirection layer. When a snapshot is taken of the volume, the allocation of a new anchor medium is delayed until a write operation targeting the volume is received. When a write operation targeting the volume is received, a new anchor medium may be allocated for only a portion of the volume corresponding to the portion of the volume which is targeted by the write operation. Also, when a snapshot is taken of the volume, read optimization operations are performed only the portions of the volume which have changed since the previous snapshot.

Abstract: A method including, responsive to receiving a request identifying a volume and indicating a command to take a snapshot of the volume, mapping a second logical grouping of data to reference the first logical grouping of data, and remapping the first volume to map to the second logical grouping of data instead of the first logical grouping of data such that the first volume remains addressable with similar access permissions before and after creating the snapshot. The method also includes, in response to receiving a write request targeting the second logical grouping, splitting the second logical grouping into a plurality of ranges including a first range and a second range; wherein the first range of the second logical grouping maps to the first logical grouping, and the write request is performed on the second range of the second logical grouping.

Abstract: An indication to replicate, for a second storage resource, a volume that is stored at a first storage resource may be received. A snapshot of the volume that is stored at the second storage resource may be identified. Data with operations to data blocks of the volume may be identified. A sequence number range, containing one or more sequence numbers, associated with the snapshot of the volume that is stored at the second resource may be received. Furthermore, a portion of the data associated with the operations to the data blocks of the volume based on the sequence number range that is associated with the snapshot of the volume that is stored at the second resource may be received to replicate the volume at the second storage resource.

Abstract: A system and method for utilizing unmapped and unknown states in a storage system. When a first portion of a first medium is determined to be unreachable from any other mediums, the first portion of the first medium may be put into an unmapped state, and its data may be discarded and the corresponding storage locations may be freed. During replication of the first medium to a replica storage array, the state of the first portion of the first medium may be translated from the unmapped state into an unknown state on the replica storage array. If another storage array has the data of the first portion of the first medium, this data may be used to overwrite the first portion of the first medium on the replica storage array, converting the first portion of the first medium from the unknown state into the mapped state.

Abstract: A system and method for exposing volumes with underlying read-write mediums to user operations. When a medium is in the process of being replicated to a storage array, a volume which relies on the medium can be exposed to user operations (e.g., snapshots, read and write operations) once the portions of the medium which underlie the volume have been replicated. The volume can be exposed to user operations while one or more other portions of the medium are unfilled and while the medium is in an intermediate read-write state.
