摘要: Implementing point in time back-up. A method that may be practiced in a distributed computing environment. The distributed computing environment includes a number of computing system nodes. The method includes at a first node in the computing environment, taking a snapshot of a cluster volume. The cluster volume stores data items (e.g. files/blocks). Taking a snapshot includes marking a point in time for data items in the volume. The method further includes receiving a notification that a different node in the computing environment than the first node, has determined to change a data item in the cluster volume at a point after the marked point in time from an old version of the data item to a new version of the data item. The method further includes at the first node, saving the old version of the data item prior to modification.

摘要: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for creating a snapshot of a shared volume that is application consistent across various nodes of a cluster. The invention enables a snapshot of a volume to be initiated on one node which causes all applications in the cluster that use the volume to persist their data to the volume prior to the snapshot being created. Accordingly, the snapshot is application consistent to all applications in the cluster that use the volume. The invention also enables applications on various nodes to perform post snapshot processing on the created snapshot. The invention can be used in an existing backup system that is not cluster aware to enable the existing backup system to create application consistent snapshots of a volume shared by applications across multiple nodes of a cluster.

摘要: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for automatically transferring configuration of a virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster. The invention enables an administrator to transfer configuration of a virtual machine by simply specifying a virtual machine to be transferred. The invention then inspects the configuration of the virtual machine on the old cluster as well as the configuration of the old cluster, including the storage (e.g. virtual hard disk) used by the cluster, and then configures a new virtual machine on a new cluster accordingly to match the configuration of the old virtual machine. Similar techniques can also be applied to transfer configuration of an SMB file server.

摘要: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for implementing a cache using multiple page replacement algorithms. An exemplary cache can include two logical portions where the first portion implements the least recently used (LRU) algorithm and the second portion implements the least recently used two (LRU2) algorithm to perform page replacement within the respective portion. By implementing multiple algorithms, a more efficient cache can be implemented where the pages most likely to be accessed again are retained in the cache. Multiple page replacement algorithms can be used in any cache including an operating system cache for caching pages accessed via buffered I/O, as well as a cache for caching pages accessed via unbuffered I/O such as accesses to virtual disks made by virtual machines.

摘要: Coordinating methods of I/O access to a shared data store. A method includes at a node, in a distributed system, performing one or more I/O operations on the shared data store using direct I/O access on a virtual data container. Direct I/O access includes performing I/O operations directly from the node to the shared data store including not having an owner node perform the I/O operation on the shared data store on the node's behalf. The owner node is a different node than the node doing the direct I/O operation. The owner node accesses the shared data store through a local data container. The method further includes determining that one or more subsequent I/O operations should be performed using redirected I/O access, where I/O operations are directed through a centralized node. The method further includes indicating to nodes in the distributed system to switch to redirected I/O access method.

摘要: The present invention minimizes the cost of establishing a cluster that utilizes shared storage by creating a storage namespace within the cluster that makes each storage device, which is physically connected to any of the nodes in the cluster, appear to be physically connected to all nodes in the cluster. A virtual host bus adapter (VHBA) is executed on each node, and is used to create the storage namespace. Each VHBA determines which storage devices are physically connected to the node on which the VHBA executes, as well as each storage device that is physically connected to each of the other nodes. All storage devices determined in this manner are aggregated into the storage namespace which is then presented to the operating system on each node so as to provide the illusion that all storage devices in the storage namespace are physically connected to each node.

摘要: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for sharing volumes between clustered nodes. Embodiments of the invention include a Clustered Shared Volume File System (CsvFs) that appears to clients as a local file system. The CsvFs communicates to a node where a disk is mounted to coordinate access to files on the disks. CsvFs uses Opportunistic Locks (oplocks) to decide when direct access to a volume is safe. CsvFs can be extended with oplock upgrade mechanisms that allow a coordinating node to tell CsvFs when it is safe to attempt to upgrade oplock. CsvFs also uses a transitivity property of oplocks to be able to grant (delegate) oplocks to clients that are on top of CsvFs.
