Abstract: Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and computing devices that manage data storage fabric health are disclosed. With this technology, a network model is applied to network data determined from monitored network traffic exchanged between storage nodes and via network connections over a cluster fabric to generate a health score for the cluster fabric. A cause of health degradation in the cluster fabric is determined based on an analysis of the network data, when the health score indicates that health of the cluster fabric is degrading. A corrective action is automatically initiated based on the cause of health degradation in the cluster fabric. With this technology, cluster fabrics in data storage networks are more effectively monitored for health degradation and, advantageously, corrective actions can be preemptively initiated to improve performance.

Abstract: An apparatus and method improving effective system throughput for replication of data over a network in a storage computing environment by using software components to perform data compression is disclosed. Software compression support is determined between applications in a data storage computing environment. If supported, compression parameters are negotiated for a communication session between storage systems over a network. Effective system throughput is improved since the size of a compressed lost data packet is less than the size of an uncompressed data packet when a lost packet needs to be retransmitted in a transmission window.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and local storage node computing device that establishes a first connection between a first endpoint in a kernel of an operating system and a second endpoint. A proxy application in a user space is invoked and a second connection is established from the operating system kernel to the proxy application. The proxy application is linked to a secure protocol implementation. Handshake messages are proxied between the second endpoint and the proxy application using the first and second connections. Security parameters for the first connection and determined from the handshake messages are sent from the proxy application to the operating system kernel via the second connection. Data is exchanged between the first endpoint in the operating system kernel and the second endpoint using the first connection and the security parameters.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for communicating storage controller failures utilizing service processor traps. A first storage controller, of a first storage cluster, has a disaster recovery relationship with a second storage controller of a second storage cluster. The first storage controller comprise a first service processor configured to monitor health of the first storage controller. Responsive to identifying a failure of the first storage controller, the first service processor uses stored communication configuration of a second service processor of the second storage controller to send a service processor trap to the second service processor. In this way, the second service processor initiates a switchover operation by the second storage controller to provide clients with failover access to data previously available through the first storage controller before the failure. Proactive notification of storage controller failures utilizing service processor traps reduces client data access disruptions.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or devices are provided for storage virtual machine relocation (e.g., ownership change) between storage clusters. For example, operational statistics of a first storage cluster and a second storage cluster may be evaluated to identify a set of load balancing metrics. Ownership of one or more storage aggregates and/or one or more storage virtual machines may be changed (e.g., permanently changed for load balancing purposes or temporarily changed for disaster recovery purposes) between the first storage cluster and the second storage cluster utilizing zero-copy ownership change operations based upon the set of load balancing metrics. For example, if the first storage cluster is experiencing a relatively heavier load of client I/O operations and the second storage cluster has available resources, ownership of a storage aggregate and a storage virtual machine may be switched from the first storage cluster to the second storage cluster for load balancing.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for preserving coredump data. A first storage controller, of a first storage cluster, may have a disaster recovery relationship with a second storage controller of a second storage cluster. When the first storage controller fails, the first storage controller performs a coredump process to dump memory contents of the first storage controller into a storage device. During implementation of the coredump process, the first storage controller stores a storage device identifier of the storage device into a disk mailbox. Upon detecting the failure, the second storage controller reads the storage device identifier from the disk mailbox. The second storage controller performs a switchover operation to change ownership of storage devices, but excluding the storage device used by the coredump process, from the first storage controller to the second storage controller for providing clients with failover access to the storage devices.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide methods, mediums, and systems for efficiently moving data between cluster nodes. Upon receiving a request to read or write data at a first cluster node that is in communication with a client, the first node effects the transfer to or from a second cluster node. The transfer is carried out using a combination of remote data memory access (“RDMA”), or a similar technique that bypasses a part of the network stack, and transport control protocol (“TCP”), or a similar technique that does not bypass a part of the network stack. The data is transferred using RDMA, while certain control messages are sent using TCP. By combining RDMA content transfers and TCP control messages, data transfers can be carried out faster, more efficiently, and with less processing overhead. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
