A method is used for managing snapshot mount points in storage systems. A request to resize a snapshot mount point is received and a file object associated with the snapshot mount point is retrieved. The file object is analyzed to determine a file attached to the snapshot mount point and a file ID is determined for an underlying file associated with the determined file. The file associated with the file ID is resized.

A method is used for managing consistency groups in storage systems. A consistency group comprising multiple logical objects is created and multiple replicas of the consistency group are created. The consistency group is restored to one of the multiple replicas.

A method is used in managing consistency groups in storage systems. A consistency group is created from a set of snapshot mount points. A snapshot mount point is a logical object accessible for using a replica of a logical volume. An operation is performed on the consistency group.

A method is used in managing restore operations in storage systems. A state of a logical object is retrieved and a second logical object is placed in a pre-step mode. An instantaneous restore operation between the first logical object and the second logical object is performed. Changed data extents in the first logical object are identified. Data-less writes are sent to any identified extents in the first logical object.
摘要:
A method, computer program product, and computing system for identifying a target storage device upon which a plurality of logical storage devices are to be defined. The target storage device includes a plurality of physical storage blocks. At least a first logical storage device and a second logical storage device are defined for mapping within the target storage device. Each of the first and second logical storage devices includes a plurality of logical storage slices. At least a portion of the logical storage slices for each of the first and second logical storage devices are non-sequentially mapped to at least a portion of the plurality of physical storage blocks included within the target storage device to generate an interlaced target storage device.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving an IO request from a host concerning an IO operation to be performed on a data array. The IO request is processed to generate an IO descriptor. The IO descriptor defines a unique and proprietary memory space for each of a plurality of IO processing routines.

A system and method related to maintaining consistency of replicated data in a data storage environment. The system handles Input/Output (IO)-Requests in a data storage environment having a server and production data stored on a data storage volume on a data storage system. A copy of the production data is stored on another data storage volume of a second data storage system, wherein IO-Requests to update production data are handled so that the data copy is consistent with the production data after processing the IO-Request.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for postponing bitmap transfers and eliminating configuration information transfers during trespass operations in a disk array environment are disclosed. According to one method, a clone group is stored on a disk array, the clone group including a logical unit (LUN) representing a storage partition on the disk array and a clone of the LUN, the clone being a copy of the data referenced by the LUN. The clone group is associated with a first storage processor (SP) for writing data to the disk array. Changes between the LUN and the clone are tracked by maintaining a data structure indicative of the changes in a memory associated with the first SP. The association of the clone group is changed to a second SP for writing data to the disk array without transferring the data structure to memory associated with the second SP.
