    Abstract: The system, process, and methods herein describe a mechanism for extracting virtual machine disk backups from LUN backups. The virtual machine disk backups may be stored in a deduplicated storage system. Thick virtual machine disks may be converted to thin virtual machine disks.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes reading metadata for a logical unit (LU) to restore, restoring active read areas to the LU identified in the metadata and exposing the LU to a host after restoring the active read areas of the LU. In another aspect, an apparatus includes electronic hardware circuitry configured to reading metadata for a LU to restore, restoring active read areas to the LU identified in the metadata and exposing the LU to a host after restoring the active read areas of the LU. In a further aspect, an article includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores computer-executable instructions. The instructions cause a machine to read metadata for a LU to restore, restore active read areas to the LU identified in the metadata and expose the LU to a host after restoring the active read areas of the LU.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed to enhance command burst tolerance in a SCSI system. The method starts with receiving an initiator timeout value at a SCSI target, where the SCSI target is communicatively coupled with a SCSI initiator through a set of communication links, and where the initiator timeout value is associated with a timeout duration after which the SCSI initiator times out if receiving no response from the SCSI target after sending a SCSI command. After receiving the initiator timeout value, the SCSI target determines how long a SCSI command has been pending to be processed at the SCSI target. The SCSI target then returns a response for the SCSI command to the SCSI initiator within the timeout duration associated with the initiator timeout value even if the SCSI command is pending to be processed at the SCSI target.

    Abstract: A system, computer program product, and computer-executable method for providing access to data on a primary data storage including a production Logical Unit (LU) in communication with a backup storage and a Data Protection Appliance (DPA), the system, computer program product, and computer-executable method comprising creating a snapshot of the production LU on the primary data storage, synthesizing a recovery snapshot at a Point in Time (PiT), wherein the recovery snapshot is the production LU at the PiT, and performing a restore operation on the snapshot of the production LU at the primary data storage using the recovery snapshot, wherein the snapshot of the production LU is restored to the production LU at the PiT, thereby creating a second recovery snapshot.

    Abstract: A method and system for recovering a corrupt virtual disk is discussed. A request to recover the disk may be received. A recovery snapshot for the last point-in-time the system was stable may be synthesized. A difference may be identified between that recovery snapshot and the corrupt disk. A virtual machine may communicate with both the difference and the corrupt disk, and the difference may be merged with the corrupt disk.
