    摘要: A networked storage system includes a source mass storage device coupled to a client via a storage area network (SAN). A target mass storage device is coupled to the source mass storage device via a private data network. The source mass storage device stores source data which is provided to the client via the SAN in response to a request by the client to read the data. If the request is to copy or move the source data, however, the source mass storage device determines an identifier for the target mass storage device and directly provides, based on the identifier, the source data to the target mass storage device via the private data network. The transfer via the private data network bypasses the client and the SAN.

    摘要: A data storage system, device, and method are provided for replicating data between different data storage systems or appliances. More specifically, the present invention allows an initiating data storage device to pull data from a target data storage device. Thus, the storage device that is supplying the data can act as a target and does not require the additional software inherent in being an initiator.

    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for providing a data storage system having snapshot restore capabilities are provided. In particular, snapshots may be taken to represent a state of a storage volume at different times. The state of the storage volume may be returned to the state represented by any snapshot even while the storage volume continues to accept read and write operations. Furthermore, these features are provided in the context of a sparse snapshot structure, according to which multiple copies of individual data chunks are not maintained by the data storage system.

    摘要: A data storage system, device, and method are provided for replicating data between different data storage systems or appliances. More specifically, the present invention affords communications between heterogeneous data storage systems that potential employ different communication protocols. A bridging communication protocol is utilized by one or both storage systems in order to accommodate different communication protocols. Alternatively, a storage appliance connecting the data storage systems may employ the bridging communication protocol.

    摘要: A method, device, and system are provided for determining when to re-initialize a backing store in a data storage system. More specifically, when all snapshots associated with a specified backing store are either being deleted or are marked for deletion the backing store is re-initialized rather than deleting each snapshot independently. The re-initialization of the backing store provides for a quicker way to delete all snapshots than can be achieved by deleting each snapshot independently.
