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.
摘要:
A computer implemented method, system, and computer program product for replicating multiple tenants comprising creating a first sub cluster at a production site; wherein the production site has a cluster of replication appliances and wherein the sub-cluster comprises a subset of the replication appliances in the cluster of replication appliance at the production site, creating a second sub cluster at a replication site comprising of a subset of replication appliances in the cluster of replication appliance at the production cluster, and creating a replication subsystem comprising of the first and second sub-clusters and replicating from the production sub-cluster to the replica sub cluster.
摘要:
A method, system, and computer program product for providing a first site the ability to execute a read signature command, wherein the read signature command takes a set of arguments, wherein at least one of the arguments corresponds to at least a portion of the first storage medium, and returns a signature value for the at least a portion of the storage medium.
摘要:
In one aspect, a method includes using a processor to generate system configuration parameters that include using the processor to receive a business input from a user, convert an abstract model into a concrete model based on the business input and optimize the concrete model to solve for system configuration parameters of the system. The abstract model includes a business goal.
摘要:
A method, system, and program product for creating compatibility between two program interfaces comprising determining differences the interfaces; and generating code to create a compatibility layer between the first interface and second interface based on the differences between the interfaces.
摘要:
A computer implemented method, system, and computer program product for recovering from a crash of a system being replicated, the method comprising determining the amount of recovery time due to the crash of each of a set of hypervisors; wherein each of the hypervisors runs one or more data replication elements selected from the group consisting of a splitter and a replication appliance; wherein each of the splitters and replication appliances replicates one or more volumes, creating an assignment of the one or more volumes to the set of replication appliances and creating an assignment of one or more replication appliances to a set of hypervisors to minimize the amount of recovery time.
摘要:
In one aspect, a method to upgrade software on nodes in a clustered environment, includes terminating processes on a first node before upgrading the software on the first node, upgrading the software to a first version from a second version on the first node, running the processes on the first node after upgrading the software on the first node to the first version, determining whether a second node is about to upgrade to the first version of software, allowing transfer of site control from the second node to the first node, if the second node is about to upgrade to the first version of software and upgrading the software on the second node to the first version of software after the transferring of site control from the second node to the first node.
摘要:
A method, system, and computer product for data replication comprising enabling a second site to receive I/O from a first site; wherein the second site stores the I/O in a journal until transferring the I/O to an image, regulating, at the first site, an application by delaying acknowledgements of I/O requests from the application, and controlling the size of a do stream in the journal by slowing a response of a splitter.
摘要:
In one aspect, a method includes performing replication of a first volume using a snapshot shipping mode, performing replication of a second volume using a continuous replication mode and generating a consistent point in time for the first and second volumes to enable retrieval of replicated data from the first and second volumes at the consistent point in time.
摘要:
A system, program product, and computer implemented method for data replication, comprising enabling a virtual service layer to consume a storage medium of a site and map the storage medium of the site as one or more virtual storage volumes, enabling the virtual service layer to present the one or more virtual storage volumes for consumption by a host, enabling a splitter of the site to intercept I/O written to the one or more virtual storage volumes, splitting intercepted I/O to a journal based replication appliance, and enabling the journal based replication appliance to create a continuous data protection image of the data written to one or more virtual storage volumes.
