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: A data storage environment can include one or more virtual machines instantiated on a host computing device. Based on physical location data of the one or more virtual machines received from the host computing device, a storage manager can control the performance of a secondary copy operation on one or more storage units that store virtual machine data associated with the one or more virtual machines and/or the performance of a secondary copy operation on the one or more virtual machines.

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: Snapshot-based disaster recovery (DR) orchestration systems and methods for virtual machine (VM) failover and failback do not require that VMs or their corresponding datastores be actively operating at the DR site before a DR orchestration job is initiated, i.e., before failover. An illustrative data storage management system deploys proprietary components at source data center(s) and at DR site(s). The proprietary components (e.g., storage manager, data agents, media agents, backup nodes, etc.) interoperate with each other and with the source and DR components to ensure that VMs will successfully failover and/or failback. DR orchestration jobs are suitable for testing VM failover scenarios (“clone testing”), for conducting planned VM failovers, and for unplanned VM failovers. DR orchestration jobs also handle failback and integration of DR-generated data into the failback site, including restoring VMs that never failed over to fully re-populate the source/failback site.

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: According to certain aspects, a method can include creating a backup copy of data associated with a virtual machine (VM) on one or more secondary storage devices, wherein the backup copy includes corresponding secondary copies of a plurality of files associated with the VM; analyzing metadata associated with the secondary copies to determine which of the plurality files are eligible to be removed from the primary storage device; in response determining that one or more files are eligible to be removed from the primary storage device, for respective file of the one or more files: determining whether the respective file has been changed since a first time at which the backup copy of the data associated with the VM was created; in response to determining that the respective file has not changed since the first time, removing the respective file; and adding a file placeholder for the removed file.

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.

Abstract: A cache storage area stores key data blocks, usually metadata, used in live browse, file indexing, and/or file restore operations, which can avoid retrieving data on demand from backup copies. An illustrative shared data storage resource hosts the cache storage area, which is subdivided into virtual disk-specific caches, each one accompanied by a respective cache-specific index. A media agent acting as cache arbitrator manages access to the various caches. The cache arbitrator grants to other media agents in the system temporary ownership of particular caches, thereby facilitating parallel usage among the caches by different media agents. By enabling parallelism and a shared cache storage environment, these embodiments improve overall operational performance and add resiliency to the system as a whole. The cache arbitrator media agent is specially appointed to the role by a storage manager that generally manages storage operations throughout the illustrative data storage management system.
