Abstract: Technology for operating a cache sizing system is disclosed. In various embodiments, the technology monitors input/output (IO) accesses to a storage system within a monitor period; tracks an access map for storage addresses within the storage system during the monitor period; and counts a particular access condition of the IO accesses based on the access map during the monitor period. When sizing a cache of the storage system that enables the storage system to provide a specified level of service, the counting is for computing a working set size (WSS) estimate of the storage system.

Abstract: A system and method of negotiated takeover of storage objects includes one or more processors, a storage controller, and memory coupled to the one or more processors. The memory stores a data structure that includes information about a plurality of storage objects manageable by the storage controller. The storage controller is configured to assume, one by one, current ownership of a first subset of the storage objects and assume, concurrently, current ownership of a second subset of the storage objects. The first subset of storage objects and the second subset of storage objects are currently owned by a second storage server coupled to the storage server. In some embodiments, current ownership of the first subset of storage objects is transferred by iteratively detecting a particular storage object from the first subset of the storage objects whose current ownership can be assumed and bringing the particular storage object online.

Abstract: A network storage server system includes a distributed object store and a metadata subsystem. The metadata subsystem stores metadata relating to the stored data objects and allows data objects to be located and retrieved easily via user-specified search queries. It manages and allows searches on at least three categories of metadata via the same user interface and technique. These categories include user-specified metadata, inferred metadata and system-defined metadata. Search queries for the metadata can include multi-predicate queries.

Abstract: A system and method for performing a progressive fault injection process to verify software is provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises loading a software product into the memory of a testbed computing system, wherein the software product includes a function and a statement that calls the function. A data structure is updated based on an error domain of the function. The calling statement is executed for each of one or more error return codes of the error domain. For each iteration of the execution, a call of the function by the calling statement is detected, and, in response, an error return code of the one or more error return codes is provided in lieu of executing the function. The software product is monitored to determine a response to the provided error return code. In some embodiments, the error return code to provide is determined by querying the data structure.
