摘要:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for incrementally baking up a data volume. In one embodiment of the method, the data volume is created in a first memory, and a point-in-time (PIT) copy of the data volume is created at time T0. First data of the data volume is modified between times T0 and T1, wherein time T1 is subsequent to time T0. Second data of the data volume is copied to a second memory after time T1. The second data of the data volume is modified after the second data is copied to the second memory. Lastly, data of the PIT copy is overwritten with (1) the copy of the second data stored in the second memory and (2) the modified first data of the data volume.

A host-based replication snapshot method. The method includes synchronizing a set of data objects stored at both a replication source node and a secondary node. The method further includes identifying changed data objects out of the set of data objects from the replication source node that have been modified during a time period between a first time and a subsequent second time. Metadata indicating the changed data objects from the replication source node is transmitted to the secondary node. A snapshot is then generated at the second time on the secondary node by using the metadata.

A computer-implemented method for migrating files to tiered storage systems may include 1) identifying at least one file to migrate from a first file system to a second file system, where the second file system may include a plurality of storage tiers, 2) identifying file metadata associated with the file as stored on the first file system, 3) before writing the file to the second storage system, selecting a storage tier from the plurality of storage tiers based at least in part on the file metadata, and 4) writing the file directly to the selected storage tier within the second file system to avoid moving the file to the selected storage tier after writing the file to the second file system. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

A method, in one embodiment, can include receiving a key and associated data via a computing device. Furthermore, the method can include searching a B+ tree data structure using the key to find a leaf node. The B+ tree data structure is stored by a persistent storage coupled to the computing device. The B+ tree data structure can include a first plurality of nodes that each contains a key-value entry that is not maintained in a sorted order based on its key. In addition, the key and associated data are appended to the leaf node. A sector that includes the leaf node and the key and associated data can be flushed to the persistent storage.

A computer-implemented method for facilitating access to shared resources within computer clusters may include (1) identifying a computer cluster, (2) identifying at least one node within the computer cluster that has been selected to execute an application, (3) identifying at least one different node within the computer cluster that has not yet been selected to execute the application, (4) importing a read-write configuration of at least one shared resource to the node, (5) importing a read-only configuration of the shared resource to the different node, (6) determining, after importing the read-only configuration of the shared resource to the different node, that the different node has been selected to execute the application, and then (7) converting, in response to this determination, the different node's read-only configuration of the shared resource to the read-write configuration of the shared resource. Various other systems, methods, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for fault handling are presented. In one embodiment, a fault handling method includes: performing an error type detection process including determining if an error is a media error or a connectivity error; performing a detachment determination process to establish an appropriate detachment scenario, wherein the appropriate detachment scenario includes not detaching any mirrors if the connectivity error involves all mirrors; and returning an application write with a failure. In one embodiment, the detachment determination process detaches a mirror in accordance with results of a read-write-back process. In one exemplary implementation, the detachment determination process includes a connectivity status inquiry and mirrors are detached in accordance with results of the connectivity status inquiry. In one exemplary implementation, the connectivity status inquiry includes a SCSI connectivity inquiry. In one embodiment, consistency and synchronization is maintained between the mirrors by utilizing a read-write-back operation.

A computer-implemented method for preventing data inconsistency within computer clusters may include (1) identifying a computer cluster includes (a) a plurality of nodes located at a plurality of sites, (b) a plurality of storage devices that store mirrored data at the sites, (c) at least one network communication link that enables nodes located at different sites to communicate with one another, and (d) at least one storage communication link that enables nodes to communicate with storage devices located at different sites, (2) detecting a communication failure that prevents communication via the storage communication link without preventing communication via the network communication link, (3) identifying a preference order that ranks the sites within the computer cluster by preference, and then (4) satisfying detach requests initiated by nodes within the computer cluster in the order specified by the preference order. Various other systems, methods, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
