摘要:
A technique for implementing policy-aware backup and restore capability in a tiered storage system. If a data set's contents are backed up from the tiered storage system to a backup storage system, metadata for the data set may also be backed up. Prior to the data set being restored from the backup storage system to the tiered storage system, the backed up metadata is restored and processed to determine a tier among the tiered storage pools to which the data set will be restored.

Provided are a method, system, and program maintaining information on a namespace comprised of filesets shared by clients over a network. Zone information is maintained on at least one zone, wherein each zone associates at least one client system, at least one fileset, and at least one storage pool. For one zone, the associated at least one fileset and at least one storage pool are accessible to the at least one client system. Clients are provided information on filesets included in a namespace, wherein each of a plurality of clients receive information on the at least one fileset associated with the client in the at least one zone including the client.

摘要:
A method and system for conducting an integrity check of system and user metadata when the metadata is mounted. A filesystem reviewer is embedded within software of a server node. A mutual exclusion lock is obtained on the selected metadata. An automated verification of the locked metadata is conducted while the filesystem is mounted. In addition, an automated salvage of the locked metadata may be conducted while the filesystem is mounted. The verification and/or salvage of the locked metadata can be applied to system, user, and/or a portion of the user metadata.

Techniques are provided for processing an Input/Output (I/O) request. At least one data block is allocated for use in completing the I/O request. A current operations record is stored for the I/O request. It is determined whether the I/O request has been completed within a specified period of time. In response to determining that the I/O request has not been completed within the specified period of time, the allocated at least one data block is fenced.

Techniques are provided for processing an Input/Output (I/O) request in which an identification message is received from a client computer. It is determined whether the client computer is a rogue client based on whether a current operations record exists for the client computer.

Techniques are provided for processing an Input/Output (I/O) request. At least one data block is allocated for use in completing the I/O request. A current operations record is stored for the I/O request. It is determined whether the I/0 request has been completed within a specified period of time. In response to determining that the I/O request has not been completed within the specified period of time, the allocated at least one data block is fenced. Also provided are techniques for processing an Input/Output (I/O) request in which an identification message is received from a client computer. It is determined whether the client computer is a rogue client based on whether a current operations record exists for the client computer.
摘要:
A method, system, and article of manufacture, wherein a plurality of references to a plurality of files corresponding to a plurality of devices are stored in a data structure implemented in a computational device, wherein the computational device is coupled to the plurality of devices via a network. Access is enabled to the data structure to a distributed application, wherein the distributed application uses a stored reference in the data structure to determine a file corresponding to a device, and wherein the distributed application performs data transfer operations with the device via the determined file.
