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 protecting virtual machines is provided. One method includes generating, by a first plugin, a directory for a virtual machine (VM) from among a plurality of VMs for a restore operation to restore the VM from a snapshot, the plurality of VMs sharing 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 a VM management system, the storage system using a first set of storage volumes to store data for a set of virtual volumes of the VM; renaming, by the first plugin, a logical object associated with the snapshot; and calling, by the first plugin, the virtual appliance to import the renamed logical object as a virtual volume.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing storage services in a networked environment are provided. A management device interfaces with a plurality of management layers that communicates with a plurality of application plugins executed by a plurality of computing devices. Each application plugin is associated with an application for providing storage services for stored objects managed by a storage system. A same request and response format is used by the management device to obtain information from the plurality of management layers regarding storage space used by the plurality of applications for storing the stored objects and the management device maintains storage space information as a storage resource object for virtual storage resources and physical storage resources used by the plurality of applications for storing the stored objects.

Abstract translation: 提供了在联网环境中提供存储服务的方法和系统。 管理设备与与多个计算设备执行的多个应用插件通信的多个管理层相连接。 每个应用程序插件与用于为存储系统管理的存储对象提供存储服务的应用程序相关联。 管理装置使用相同的请求和响应格式来从多个管理层获取关于多个应用程序使用的用于存储所存储的对象的存储空间的信息，并且管理设备将存储空间信息维护为虚拟的存储资源对象 用于存储所存储的对象的多个应用程序所使用的存储资源和物理存储资源。
