    摘要: Managing file objects in a data storage system includes providing a plurality of metadata servers, each metadata server having information for only a subset of file objects in the storage system, each subset for each of the metadata servers being less than a total number of file objects for the system and includes providing at least one metadata location server, where an entity accessing a specific file object of the system determines which of the metadata servers contains data for the specific file object by first accessing the at least one metadata location server. Information for the subset of file objects may include a table having file identifiers and metadata location information. The metadata location information may point to data storage for a metadata object for a file.

    摘要: Accessing data file objects includes providing a file system interface on a client, where the file system interface allows an application running on the client to make file system calls to access the data file objects. A Web Services interface may also be provided on the client, where the Web Services interface allows an application to access file objects using the Web Services at the same time that file objects are being accessed through the file system interface. The Web Services interface may be a SOAP interface and/or a REST interface. Accessing data file objects may also include providing a direct file object interface on the client, where the direct file object interface allows an application to directly access file objects at the same time that file objects are being accessed using the Web Services interface and using the file system interface.

    摘要: Managing files includes receiving a plurality of policies for a new file, where different policies may be applied according to predetermined conditions, receiving a request to create a new file, selecting an appropriate policy for the new file according to the predetermined conditions, determining if sufficient resources are available according to the appropriate policy, and obtaining file objects to create the file in response to their being sufficient resources according to the appropriate policy. Policies may be received via a user management interface. The predetermined conditions may include an identity of a client creating a file. The appropriate policy may include information regarding mirrors for the file. The appropriate policy may indicate a minimum geographic distance between the mirrors.

    摘要: One embodiment is a method and apparatus for managing a virtual data storage object in a computer system including at least one host and at least one storage device that present at least one storage disk to the host as a storage resource. The host includes at least one of an LVM and a file system. The virtual data storage object is created so that at least one of a logical volume and a file is employed as a storage resource to store data stored to the virtual data storage object. Another embodiment forms a virtual data storage object with data images stored on logical volumes from LVMs on different hosts. A further embodiment forms a virtual data storage object with one data image stored to a disk and another stored to a logical volume. Another embodiment is directed to a method and apparatus for distributing the metadata that defines a virtual storage object about the computer system.
