    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing data policy management over application objects in a storage system environment. An application object may comprise non-virtual or virtual objects (e.g., non-virtual-based applications, virtual-based applications, or virtual storage components). An application object manager may represent application objects by producing mapping graphs and/or application object data that represent application objects in a standardized manner. A mapping graph for an application object may describe a mapping between the application object and its underlying storage objects on a storage system. Application object data may describe a mapping graph in a standardized format. Application object data representing application objects may be received by an application policy manager that manages data policies on the application objects (including virtual applications and virtual storage components) based on the received application object data. Data policies may include policies for backup, service level objectives, recovery, monitoring and/or reporting.

    Abstract translation: 这里描述了用于在存储系统环境中对应用对象提供数据策略管理的系统和方法。 应用对象可以包括非虚拟或虚拟对象(例如,基于非虚拟的应用,基于虚拟的应用或虚拟存储组件)。 应用对象管理器可以通过以标准化的方式产生表示应用对象的映射图和/或应用对象数据来表示应用对象。 应用程序对象的映射图可以描述应用程序对象与存储系统上的底层存储对象之间的映射。 应用对象数据可以以标准格式描述映射图。 表示应用对象的应用对象数据可以由应用策略管理器接收,该应用策略管理器基于所接收的应用对象数据来管理应用对象(包括虚拟应用和虚拟存储组件)上的数据策略。 数据策略可能包括备份策略,服务级别目标,恢复,监控和/或报告。

    Abstract: Methods and systems for protecting virtual machines is provided. One method includes discovering, by a first plugin, from a virtual machine (“VM”) management system, a plurality of VMs that share a logical data store having a plurality of virtual volumes used for storing data for the VMs by a storage system registered with the first plugin and a virtual appliance of the VM management system; obtaining, by the first plugin, from the virtual appliance, metadata and storage layout of a set of virtual volumes used by a VM to store data; using a first application programming interface (API), by the first plugin, for identifying a first set of storage volumes used by the storage system to store data for the set of virtual volumes; and creating, by the first plugin, a consistency group (“CG”) having the identified the first set of storage volumes and generating a snapshot of the CG.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for storage services is provided. One method includes configuring by a processor, a database availability group (DAG) storing an active database copy at a first computing node and a passive database copy of the active database copy at a second computing node; initiating a backup operation for backing up the passive database copy from the second computing node; and interfacing with the first computing node by the second computing node for completing the backup operation. The first computing node identifies logs for the backup operation, backs up the identified logs and provides metadata associated with the backup of the identified logs to the second computing node. The second computing node updates metadata for the backup operation such that a backup copy of the passive database copy points to the second node with metadata received from the first computing node.
