    Abstract: The data storage system according to certain aspects can manage the archiving of virtual machines to (and restoring of virtual machines from) secondary storage. The system can determine whether to archive virtual machines based on usage data or information. The usage information may include storage usage, CPU usage, memory usage, network usage, events defined by a virtual machine software or application, etc. The system may archive virtual machines that are determined to have a low level of utilization. For example, a virtual machine can be archived when its usage level falls below a threshold level. The system may create a virtual machine placeholder for an archived virtual machine, which may be a “light” or minimal version of the virtual machine that acts as if it is the actual virtual machine. By using a virtual machine placeholder, a virtual machine may appear to be active and selectable by the user.

    Abstract translation: 根据某些方面的数据存储系统可以管理将虚拟机归档到二次存储器(并从其恢复虚拟机)。 系统可以根据使用数据或信息确定是否归档虚拟机。 使用信息可以包括存储使用,CPU使用,存储器使用,网络使用,由虚拟机软件或应用程序定义的事件等。系统可以归档被确定为具有低的利用水平的虚拟机。 例如,当虚拟机的使用级别低于阈值级别时,可以归档虚拟机。 该系统可以为归档的虚拟机创建一个虚拟机占位符,该虚拟机可以是虚拟机的“轻”或最小版本,该虚拟机的作用就像实际的虚拟机一样。 通过使用虚拟机占位符,虚拟机可能看起来是由用户激活和选择的。

    Abstract: System and techniques for performing snapshot and backup copy operations for individual virtual machines in a shared storage. The system can also include one or more shared physical computer storage devices communicatively coupled to the hypervisor to store the plurality of virtual machines. A plurality of storage volumes can be provided in the one or more shared physical computer storage devices where each storage volume uniquely corresponding to one of the virtual machines. The system can issue a command to a hypervisor to perform a snapshot or backup copy operation with a particular information management policy.

    Abstract: Virtual machine (VM) proliferation may be reduced through the use of Virtual Server Agents (VSAs) assigned to a group of VM hosts that may determine the availability of a VM to perform a task. Tasks may be assigned to existing VMs instead of creating a new VM to perform the task. Furthermore, a VSA coordinator may determine a grouping of VMs or VM hosts based on one or more factors associated with the VMs or the VM hosts, such as VM type or geographical location of the VM hosts. The VSA coordinator may also assign one or more VSAs to facilitate managing the group of VM hosts. In some embodiments, the VSA coordinators may facilitate load balancing of VSAs during operation, such as during a backup operation, a restore operation, or any other operation between a primary storage system and a secondary storage system.
