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.
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.

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.

A method, apparatus and program storage device for providing real-time file system charge-back accounting with real time historical minimum and maximum usage per user or group during a report cycle. In a first storage area of file system memory, space allocation data for a current accounting period is monitored and persistently maintained. A minimum, maximum and average space allocation is calculated for the management object during the current accounting period. The calculated minimum, maximum and average space allocation for the management object may be moved to a second storage area of the file system memory while beginning to monitor and persistently maintain space allocation data of the management object in the first storage area of the file system memory during a subsequent accounting period.

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.

There is provided, in a computer processing system, an apparatus for managing object data. The apparatus includes a changed objects manager for creating and managing a changed objects list that at least identifies the objects that have changed based on time of change. The changed objects list is associated with a plurality of time buckets. Each of the plurality of time buckets is associated with a respective date and time period and with object change records for objects having a timestamp falling within the respective date and time period. Each of the object change records is associated with a unique object identifier and the timestamp for a corresponding one of the objects. The timestamp specifies a date and a time corresponding to a latest one of a creation time or a most recent update time for the corresponding one of the objects.

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.
